1. slide the Lock/unlock switch up to the “unlock”
position.
2. Push down firmly on the Foot Pedal (6). allow it to
return up and release the workpiece. (see Fig. F, G)
if you have clamped the object very tightly, you must
exert similar pressure on the Foot Pedal before it will
release.
WarninG:
ensure you are supporting the
workpiece to avoid it falling when the Jaw
is released.
3. slide the Moving Jaw (1) back and remove your
workpiece. (see Fig. h)
- clamPinG on one side oF THe JaW (see Fig. i)
sometimes, large or awkward workpieces can only be
clamped on one side of the Jaws. in this case, be sure
to avoid excessive clamping force.
- clamPinG sQuare Pieces VerTicallY (see

2. slide the Moving Jaw (1) fully from its tracks. (see
Fig. h)
3. Rotate the Jaw 180 degrees and re-insert it into the
track. (see Fig. K)
WarninG: Whenever clamping objects
with the moving Jaw reversed, ensure
the workpiece sits down onto the sliding Jaw,
and is parallel to it. avoid clamping workpieces
at the top of the Jaws (with a gap between the
workpiece and the base of the moving Jaw) as
excessive Pedal pressure could damage the unit.
- clamPinG sQuare TuBinG
Clamp square tubing or similar material on the flat side.
use the Jaws to securely hold the material. (see Fig. L)
- remoVinG THe JaW FacinGs (see Fig. m)
The Jaw Facings can be removed to achieve a greater
clamping range, replace if worn or damaged, or when
fitting the optional jaws.
The Jaw Facing (2, 4) can be pulled from the Jaw by
hand.
