The KOBALT 4-Drawer Chest (Model #19137, Item #5071908) is a robust storage unit designed for organizing tools and other items. This chest is part of a modular system, as it can be stacked onto a compatible cabinet (Item #5071909, sold separately) to create a larger storage solution.

Usage Features:
- Drawer System: The chest features smooth-operating drawer slides (H) for easy opening and closing. Drawers can be fully extended for access to contents.
- Drawer Removal and Re-insertion: Drawers can be removed by pushing up on one release lever and pulling down on the other, then pulling the drawer outward. To re-insert, extend the slides and slide carrier, align the drawer with the chest slides, insert one side, then the other, and push the drawer slowly until it engages.
- Locking Mechanism: A lock (FF) and two keys (GG) are provided to secure the drawers and the top compartment, ensuring the safety of stored items. When locking, all drawers must be completely closed for the lock bars to function properly.
- Integrated Power Strip: A power strip (D) is included, offering electrical outlets and USB ports for convenient power access. It is crucial to use a three-wire extension cord with intact prongs, connected to a 125V GFCI-protected outlet.
- Stackability: The chest is designed to be stacked on top of a compatible cabinet (Item #5071909, sold separately). This involves removing the cabinet mat, unloading specific drawers from both the chest and cabinet, and securing the chest to the cabinet using M8 x 25 mm bolts and M8 nuts (provided with the cabinet).
- Portability: The chest includes two chest side handles (F) for easier movement. However, it is recommended that two people move the unit safely. It should be secured properly before moving with a forklift and not attached to a vehicle.

- Do not stand or step on the product.
