General Use for Panel Max
Quick Start
We recommend that you dry t your
panel before you apply glue. Before
each panel glue up, you must make
sure that the panel ts properly
in the Panel Max Glue Press. Your
boards can not protrude past the
top of the Side Pressure Bars. Once
your boards are in, secure the panel
by latching the top pressure assem-
bly and rotate the large knob. This
draws in all four sides and clamps
the panel tightly.
Non-Marring Jaw/Pad
Each Top Pressure Assembly has a
non marring jaw that neatly seats
inside the two Side Pressure Bars.
This jaw applies even, downward
pressure on your panel.
Top Assembly Rest Clip
The Top Assembly Rest Clip keeps
the assembly from damaging the
Side Pressure Bars when the Panel
Max is being loaded or is not in use.
It neatly hooks on to the back side
of the Side Pressure Bar as shown to
the left.
Spring Loaded Side Buttons
Both the top and bottom pressure
assemblies are equipped with
spring loaded buttons that allow
you to quickly adjust the height.
The Top Pressure Assembly always
remains in the rst square hole at
the top, while the Bottom Pressure
Assembly can be adjusted any-
where along the length of the Side
Pressure Bars.
The Panel Max Glue Press System provides
a space saving clamping solution that
is second to none! Not only does it save
space, it also clamps or puts even pressure
on your panel from all four directions! This
makes the Panel Max the go to clamp set
up panels large and small!
You can attach as many
Slide Rail’s side by side
to achieve any length
needed. Extra Rails and
Side Pressure Bars are
available for purchase.
12” to 13” is the recom-
mended distance be-
tween clamp rails.

sure Assembly.

does get on the Panel Max
System, clean the glue o
as soon as possible.
