4. Loosen the rear locking knob. Slide the rear leg from housing
and back into storage position. Make sure the rear leg is engaged
fully into storage position and the rear leg locking knob is tightened
firmly.
5. You can carry the rear leg as a carry handle when the
JAWHORSE
TM
is fully folded in its position. (See Fig.I)
6. You can also slide the rear leg to use as a handle. With the roller
on the front, transporting the JAWHORSE
TM
is easy and fast. Note
that the roller is not designed to withstand rigorous transport, such
as bouncing down stairways or traversing rough terrain.
(See Fig.J, K)
CLAMPING
1. Place the workpiece against the fixed jaw (2) and slide the
moving jaw (1) forward until it touches the workpiece.
The foot pedal can be pressed repeatedly to make the jaw move
forward.
2. Slide the lock / release switch down to the “lock” position.
(See Fig.L)
3. Apply downward pressure on the foot pedal until enough
clamping force is applied. (See Fig.M)
Warning: Maximum allowable force on the foot pedal is
100kg. Do not stand or jump on the unit, as you can cause
injury or damage the unit.
RELEASING
1. Slide the lock / release switch up to the “release” position.
(See Fig.F)
2. Push on the foot pedal, allow it to return up and release the
workpiece. (See Fig.M)

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 its falling when the jaw is released.
3. Slide the moving jaw back and remove your workpiece.
(See Fig.N)
CLAMPING ON ONE SIDE OF THE JAW
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 Fig.O)
Sometimes, tubing or other square (steel, aluminum or other)
workpieces need to be clamped vertically on the center of the
jaws. The hole on the base plate under the jaw accommodates
pieces up to 6cm in width.
CLAMPING LARGE OBJECTS [450mm TO 940mm]
The move jaw can be reversed to accommodate large workpieces.
1. Set the lock / release switch to the “release” position and ensure
that the foot pedal is released.
2. Slide the moving jaw (1) fully from its tracks. (See Fig.N)
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
