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 40mm
width to be clamped vertically. See fig 17.
CLAMPING LARGE OBJECTS (CLAMPING RANGE >450MM)
To clamp larger workpieces the moving jaw can be reversed to increase the clamping range, up to 956mm.
1. Remove the moving jaw by sliding it from the tracks.
2. Rotate the moving jaw 180° and re-assemble. See fig 18.
WARNING: Whenever clamping workpieces up to the maximum clamping range ensure the workpiece
rests down on the moving jaw and remains parallel to it.
