Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Bessey EZ360 clamp requires no assembly. To operate in clamp mode, position the jaws on your workpiece and squeeze the handle. To adjust the handle position, press the button on the top of the handle and rotate it to the desired position, ensuring it clicks into one of the 12 steps. To convert to spreading mode, locate the push-button release on the top part of the clamp and press it firmly; the jaws will then open when the handle is squeezed.
Compatibility: This clamp is compatible with most standard woodworking and metalworking tasks. It's designed to work with a wide range of materials, including wood, composite materials, and soft metals, especially when using the protective caps.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, periodically clean the clamp's bar, jaws, and mechanism. Remove any sawdust, debris, or metal shavings. A dry cloth is usually sufficient. For stubborn residue, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish and moving parts. Inspect the protective caps regularly for wear and replace them if damaged.
