Troubleshooting
Clamp not holding securely
Ensure the surface you are clamping onto is within the specified diameter (10-60mm for cylinders, up to 50mm for flat surfaces with wedge). Tighten the central knob firmly. Check that the removable wedge is properly inserted for flat surfaces.
Worn or loose knob
Inspect the knob and clamping mechanism for debris. If the knob feels excessively loose, check for any damage to the threads. For persistent issues, contact customer support.
Scratches on clamped surface
Verify that the integrated protective pads on the clamp are clean and intact. Ensure no grit or debris is caught between the pads and the clamped surface.
