Troubleshooting
Clamp not holding firmly
Ensure the workpiece is within the 40mm jaw opening and that the surface is clean. Check that the spring mechanism is not obstructed.
Jaws leaving marks on delicate surfaces
Verify that the non-marring pads are clean and intact. Ensure you are not applying excessive force beyond the clamp's intended capacity.
Handles are difficult to squeeze
Check for any debris or obstructions in the hinge or spring mechanism. A light application of a dry lubricant might help if the mechanism feels stiff.
