Responsibilities

Use transfer cart to move assembled frame from conveyor to upholstery lift. The upholstery lift (scissor lift) is pneumatically powered and controlled by a foot pedal. Proper bending techniques should be used when moving the transfer cart to prevent strains

Staple filler material (foam) to the frame. A Pneumatic staple gun is used to perform this task. Safety glasses are required to prevent any possible reflections from hitting the employee’s eye. Repetitive motion is a potential hazard from the triggering motion

Use scissors to cut excessive filler material from the frame

The pneumatic staple gun is used again to attach fabric/leather to the frame. The non-trigger hand is used to pull and stretch the fabric/leather to ensure the desired fit

The seams in the upholstered product are smoothed out and tucked by the use of a regulator (ice pick) for a crisp finished appearance

Excessive fabric is trimmed off around the finished wood portions of the frame with a box cutter (razor blade)

Occasional lifting is required to sit frames off of the assembly conveyor due to repairs
