3. Rotate the jaw 180 degrees and re-insert it into the
track. (see fig. P)
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.
NOTE: Some operations such as hand sawing
or planing exert enough pressure to cause the
JAWHORSE
®
to slide. In these situations, it is
acceptable to hold the JAWHORSE
®
in place by
standing on the foot plate. (See Fig. R) When
clamping large or heavy materials, provide
outboard support. Never step on the footplate to
prevent JAWHORSE
®
from tipping over, especially
when using power tools. (See Fig. Q)
CLAMPING SQuARE TuBING
Clamp square tubing or similar material either on the
diagonal or flat side. use the jaws to securely hold your
material. (see fig. s)
REMOVING THE JAW FACINGS (See Fig. T)
The jaw facings can be removed to achieve a greater
clamping range, replace if worn or damaged, or when
fitting the optional jaws.
Remove the screws in the center of jaws, the jaw facing
(2, 3) can be pulled off from the jaw by hand.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES:
1) WELDING JAW (See Fig. u)
The welding jaw helps to hold items while welding. The
thick walled cast aluminum jaws can hold the larger
part. The holding arm clamps the second part that is to
be welded onto the larger part, and more importantly,
accurately positions it.
2) LOG AND CHAINSAW JAW (See Fig. V-X)
suitable for gripping logs or poles, and holding the
chainsaw for sharpening. These steel jaws also bolt
onto the standard steel jaws and are zinc plated for
corrosion resistance.
Chain saw clamping blocks pivot back out of the way
when not in use and pivot forward when required.
Logs or poles up to 12˝ (300 mm) in diameter are
gripped firmly for chain sawing, drilling, rabbeting etc.
The chain saw clamping vice makes an ideal clamp to
hold a chainsaw while sharpening the teeth. Two pairs
of vices, either side of the bar, ensure the clamping jaws
are clear of the chain, which can then be rotated as
each tooth is filed.
3) SADDLEBAG
saddlebag provides a convenient place to hold tools
and other bits and pieces.
