INSTRUCTIONS

Fig. 1 - Position mounting brackets .5" - 1.5" below work surface and 12" - 24" apart. Mark hole location on mounting surface. The slotted bracket should be on the end you intend to work from.

For wood mounting surfaces predrill 1/8" dia. mounting holes and secure brackets using screws provided.

For other mounting surfaces drill 1/4" dia. mounting holes and secure brackets with 1/4" dia. bolts and nuts (not provided).

Fig. 2 - Slide bar through closed bracket. Release the handle from the cam and position it near slotted bracket. Turn handle to separate thrust washer and bushing then press into bracket.

To remove clamp from brackets disengage the handle from the cam and pull straight out, away from the mounting bracket. When washer separates from bracket slide the bar out of the bracket.

USE

To clamp work piece, position the work piece between the jaws and slide the free jaw firmly against the work piece. Engage the handle into the cam until the cam locks.

The jaws may be rotated as needed to provide the best position for securing the work piece.

The cam has multiple slots for engaging the handle. This permits rotation of the cam in either direction to best suit the work to be completed.

For reduced clamping force partially rotate the handle-cam prior to engaging the free jaw.

CARE

Periodically clean dirt dust and debris from shaft and jaws. Lubricate both jaws by applying a small amount of light lubricate into the bar slot in both jaws. Lightly lubricate the cam as needed.

SAFETY WARNINGS

Always wear safety goggles, gloves and other appropriate items for protection. Do not strike with other tools or objects. Do not use near welding heat. Do not apply more than hand pressure. Make sure work platform is stable.

GUARANTEE

This product is warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship for 1 year under normal usage. Damage caused by misuse, alteration or misapplication is not protected.
