How to use

Position the F-clamp so the fixed jaw rests against one side of the workpiece and slide the movable jaw until it touches the opposite side. Rotate the handle or screw to apply gradual pressure until the parts are held securely without over-tightening. For accurate alignment, adjust the clamp while monitoring joint fit or glue squeeze-out; release pressure slowly by turning the handle counter-clockwise when work is complete. The lightweight aluminium body allows for easy repositioning and handling during repetitive tasks.

Usage recommendations

Use protective pads between the clamp jaws and delicate surfaces to prevent marking. Avoid applying excessive torque beyond the clamp’s manual capacity to protect the screw mechanism. Store the clamp in a dry place to maintain the aluminium finish and inspect moving parts regularly for smooth operation.
