Install Legs and Back Panel

NOTE: Assemble and adjust this workbench upside down according to the illustrations. Be sure that the workbench top is flat on the floor and the legs are in the air.

Outer Leg and Back Panel Installation

1. Place each set of outer legs (P1) on the workbench underside and match the holes.
