2.1 Using the clamp
The clamping system enables the operator to control the grip
pressure by means of an integral friction brake, that maintains
the clamping force at the pressure applied by the operating lever.
Soft materials can be held firmly without sustaining damage and
solid materials are held rigidly without movement. By following
the guidelines below it will help you to get the most from the
machine.
Soft materials such as Foamcore boards, lightweight card, etc.
Use light to medium pressure. The underside of the clamp grips
an area nearly 4cm (11/2”) wide with a non-marking sponge
rubber
and reasonable force can be applied. If in doubt clamp a sample
first with the good surface facing outwards.
Do this gently
