Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the clamp as a spreader, press the release button to slide the jaw off the end of the bar, then re-insert it onto the opposite side of the fixed head. Ensure the bar is free of sawdust and excess glue to maintain smooth sliding action. Wipe the steel bar periodically with a light coat of machine oil to prevent surface rust, especially if working in humid environments. The removable jaw plates can be cleaned with soap and water if they accumulate adhesive buildup, but ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
