1. Manual lock release
Be sure to confirm safety before manually releasing the lock,
and only perform work
while the air is exhausted. Otherwise,
the clamp arm may operate unexpectedly.

2. Do not disassemble the power clamp cylinder.
The power clamp cylinder consists of a completely sealed
structure in order to protect it from welding spatter. Do not
disassemble, except for when replacing any of the replaceable
parts, as this may cause the performance to deteriorate.
3. Clamp arm
The clamp arm may interfere with the cylinder body depending
on the mounting method. Be sure to check for interference.
4. Proximity switch output
The switch output signal is output near the clamping end and
the unclamping end respectively. The switch output signal on
the clamping side does not output the status where the power
clamp cylinder is locked by the toggle mechanism.
5. Operating time and allowable load mass
If the operating time is short or a load exceeding the allowable
load mass is applied, a failure of the product, such as breakage
and deformation, may occur. If load mass or operating speed
exceed the specifications, install external buffers, such as
shock absorbers.
