CLAMPING THE WORKPIECE
See Figure 14 - 15.
Always support the workpiece before releasing the foot pedal to
prevent the workpiece from falling o the product.
ŶLoosen the thumbscrew on the side of the sliding clamp.
ŶPlace the lock / unlock latch in the unlock position then push the
sliding clamp to open.
NOTE: When clamping long or heavy materials, always provide
proper support for the workpiece.
ŶPlace the workpiece between the fixed clamp and sliding clamp
with it balanced on the product.
ŶMove the sliding clamp until the clamp rests against the workpiece
or step repeatedly on the foot pedal to move the sliding clamp
against the workpiece. Each full stroke of the foot pedal moves
the sliding clamp approximately 13 mm.
ŶSlide the lock / unlock latch down to lock the sliding clamp against
the workpiece.
ŶStep on the foot pedal until the workpiece has been secured in
place.
NOTE: Stand on the foot pedal when extra force is needed. DO
NOT jump on the foot pedal as you could damage the product.
UNCLAMPING THE WORKPIECE
See Figure 16.
Always support the workpiece BEFORE unclamping it to prevent the
workpiece from falling o the product.
ŶPull the lock / unlock latch up to unlock.
ŶStep down on the foot pedal then let the pedal rise releasing the
force on the workpiece.
NOTE: If you have clamped the workpiece tightly, added pressure
on the foot pedal may be needed to release the workpiece from
the clamps.
ŶPush the sliding clamp toward the rear of the product then
remove the workpiece.
USING ONE SIDE OF THE CLAMP
See Figure 17.
If a large or awkward workpiece can only be clamped on one side of
the clamp, it will be necessary to use a spacer. Place a spacer the same
thickness as the workpiece on the other side of the clamp from the
workpiece to keep clamps from skewing.
CLAMPING WIDE WORKPIECES
See Figure 18 - 19.
The product can support wide workpieces. To clamp a wide workpiece
between 450 mm to 940 mm, it will be necessary to remove the clamp
pads as described in the Maintenance section and place the sliding
clamp in the “reverse position”.
ŶLoosen the thumbscrew on the side of the sliding clamp.
ŶPull the lock / unlock latch up to unlock.
ŶPush the sliding clamp toward the rear of the product and off
its tracks.
ŶTurn the clamp around (180 degrees).
ŶSlide the clamp back on the tracks.
NOTE: When clamping long or heavy materials, always provide
proper support for the workpiece.
USING AS A PRESS
See Figure 20.
With the lock / unlock latch in the unlock position and the rubber
clamp pads removed (see Maintenance section), the product can be
used as a press by stepping repeatedly on the foot pedal.
OPERATING TIPS
ŶUse the grooves in the clamp pads to securely hold material such
as tubing.
ŶThe easiest way to hacksaw square tubing is from corner to
corner rather than across the flats.
ŶSharpening a chain saw blade is made easier using two wooden
blocks on either side of the bar thus ensuring the chain can be
rotated as each tooth is filed.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
For greater safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed by
an authorised AEG service centre.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are
susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and
can be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust,
oil, grease, etc.
Do not modify the product in any way or use accessories not
approved by the manufacturer. Your safety and that of others may
be compromised.
Before and after each use, check the product for damage or broken
parts. Keep the product in top working condition by immediately
replacing parts with spares approved by the manufacturer.
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other
parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
Use only AEG accessories and AEG spare parts. Should components
need to be replaced which have not been described, please contact
one of our AEG service agents (see our list of guarantee/service
addresses).
REPLACING THE CLAMP PADS

the pad into place.
To replace the clamp pads on the sliding clamp:
ŶRemove the front and back clamp pads.
ŶPlace a new front clamp pad into the holes on the sliding clamp.
NOTE: Front clamp pad must be installed before the back clamp
pad.
ŶAlign the new back clamp pad holes over the tabs from the front
clamp pad and press the pads together.
LUBRICATING THE CLAMP MECHANISM
See Figure 22.
If the sliding clamp does not move smoothly, remove it and spray the
clamp mechanism with a small amount of general purpose grease.
ADJUSTING THE LOCK LEVERS
See Figure 23 - 24.
