Troubleshooting
Clamp does not hold securely.
Ensure the clamp plate is securely screwed to a stable wooden surface. Adjust the pressure control knob to increase clamping force. Verify that the workpiece thickness is within the clamp's adjustable range.
Difficulty adjusting clamp thickness.
Check for any debris or obstructions in the adjustment mechanism. Ensure the clamp is properly seated on its mounting plate.
Workpiece is not held flat.
Confirm the wooden mounting surface is perfectly flat. Ensure the anodized-aluminum plate is seated correctly and not interfering with the workpiece.
Clamp grip causes hand fatigue.
Utilize the pressure control knob for fine-tuning. Ensure you are not applying excessive force beyond what is necessary for a secure hold. Take breaks during extended use.
