Troubleshooting
Clamp does not tighten securely
Ensure the bar and jaws are clean and free of obstruction. Check that the workpiece is positioned correctly within the jaws. If the screw mechanism feels stiff, apply a small amount of lubricant.

Clean the bar of any dirt, sawdust, or residue. Check for any damage or warping on the bar. A light application of lubricant may help.
