CLAMPING ON ONE SIDE OF THE JAW
On occasion large or awkward workpieces can only be clamped on one side of the jaws. If this is the case
then avoid excessive use of clamping force. See fig 15.
CLAMPING SQUARE TUBE
Clamping square tubing or similar material either on the diagonal or flat side using the grooves in the
jaw pads for alignment. See fig 16.
CLAMPING SQUARE PIECES VERTICALLY
On occasion tubing or other square workpieces need to be clamped vertically on the centre of the jaws.
Use the grooves on the jaw pad to align the workpiece. A hole accommodates workpieces up to 40 mm
width to be clamped vertically. See fig 17.
CLAMPING LARGE OBJECTS (CLAMPING RANGE >450 mm)
To clamp larger workpieces the moving jaw can be reversed to increase the clamping range, up to 956 mm.
1.
Remove the moving jaw by sliding it from the tracks.
2.
Rotate the moving jaw 180° and re-assemble. See fig 18.
3.
The clamping area between 450 mm and 500 mm must be bridged by means of a suitable intermediate
piece of 50 mm width, for example, through a block of wood or similar solid material.
WARNING: Whenever clamping workpieces up to the maximum clamping range ensure the workpiece
rests down on the moving jaw and remains parallel to it.

1. Place the workpiece against the front fixed jaw (|2). Slide the
moving jaw (|1) up against the workpiece. The moving jaw
can either be moved by hand or by using the foot pedal.

down on the foot pedal to clamp the workpiece. See fig 13.
fig. 14
WARNING: Maximum allowable force on the foot pedal is 100Kg.
1. Slide up the lock / unlock switch to release the lock.
2. Press down on the foot pedal until it "clicks" to release the
clamp.
3. Slide the moving jaw away from the workpiece. See fig 14.
fig. 16
NB: You will need to exert a similar pressure on the foot pedal as
was used to initially clamp the workpiece.
WARNING: Ensure the workpiece is supported to avoid it falling
when the jaw is released.
