Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Screw the 2 uprights onto the top rail.
4 screws 100214 with the Allen key — not the short 110907. Check the hole pattern in the manual, step 1.
Step 2
Lower the 2 beams over the uprights.
One on each side of the uprights, down onto the top rail.
Step 3
Fit the 4 legs and push the 2 long bolts (110019) through.
A toothed washer (10062438) goes under each bolt head.
Step 4 · manual step 3
Screw a wing nut (106718) onto each bolt.
Turn it on by hand.
Step 5 · manual step 4
Lower the shelf in between the legs.
Step 6 · manual step 5
Fix the shelf with 4 screws (100214) — one through each leg.
Use the Allen key. Not the short 110907 screws.
Step 7 · manual step 6
Tap the 4 foot caps (153549) onto the leg ends.
Use a hammer.
Step 8 · manual step 7
Loosen the 2 wing nuts and lift the leg frame off.
The top rail with the uprights stays behind.
Step 9 · manual step 8
Screw the top rail to the underside of the tabletop.
2 screws (110907) with the Allen key. Tabletop sold separately.
Step 10 · manual step 9
Lower the leg frame back onto the uprights.
Step 11 · manual step 10
Tighten the 2 wing nuts.
Step 12 · manual step 10
Turn the table over.
Here with a second trestle at the other end, fitted the same way.
Step 13
To set the height: loosen the wing nuts and slide the top up or down.
Then push a peg into the uprights so it rests on the beams, and tighten (manual p. 11).
Tips & safety
- Tabletop and second trestle are sold separately. MITTBACK fits the LAGKAPTEN, MÅLSKYTT and ANFALLARE tabletops (manual p. 9).
- The top can also be tilted. See the info page (p. 11) in the manual.
