Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the clamp is straightforward: simply rotate the T-bar handle counter-clockwise to open the jaw to the desired width, place the object between the swivel shoe and the frame anvil, and turn clockwise until secure. To maintain the tool, keep the screw threads clean and periodically apply a light machine oil to ensure smooth operation. Store in a dry environment to prevent surface oxidation on the cast iron frame. If the clamp is being used on softwoods, consider using a scrap wood buffer between the clamp shoe and the material to avoid accidental indentation.
