TECHNICAL DATA
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
Tools needed for assembly and alignment:
1. 10 mm Nutdriver, wrench or adjustable wrench.
2. Electric screwdriver with #2 Phillips bit.
- ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Position the Foot Pedal Connector (a) into the
upright position. Mount the Pedal Guide (7) to the
BENCHJAWSTM using the provided four M6 x 16 Bolt
and Washers Assemblies. Attach the Foot Pedal
Connector to the Pedal Connecting Rod (b) using the
provided two M6×45 bolts and two M6 nuts. (Figs
A1-A3)
NOTE: Tighten all fasteners securely (but do not crush
tubes). Loose screws can result in injury or damage to
the unit or workpiece.
Attaching the Mounting Bracket
1. Place the two M6 flange nuts (c) flange down on
the bench, then drop the Mounting Bracket (8) over
them, locating the nuts in the hex holes (use a pencil
through the hole to align the nuts if necessary).
2.
Mount the Mounting Bracket to the desired corner
of a sturdy wooden workbench using the provided
twelve Countersinking Wood Screws. Make sure
the Mounting Bracket is pushed firmly against both
edges of the workbench corner and that it pulls down
evenly onto the bench surface. (See Fig. B2, B3)
NOTE: There are Four Spare Holes on the Mounting
Bracket. Use these holes to insert additional fasteners
if needed to make the Mounting Bracket more secure.
(See Fig. B4).
Mounting in Location other than Bench Corner
(See Fig. B5)
The best position to mount the BENCHJAWSTM is the
corner of the bench as it allows maximum work holding
possibilities. However, if attachment to the center of
a bench is preferred, for example, simply construct
a wooden packer to support the Mounting Bracket.
Make sure the packer is securely fastened to the
bench, and attached the Mounting Bracket according to
instructions.
Mounting to Benches other than Wooden
1. Thin sheet metal bench tops:
Use 3/16˝ countersunk machine screws with large
washer and nut secured beneath the table.
2. Thin sheet metal over a wooden bench table
surface:
Use the standard wood screws into the underlying
wooden table.
3. Thick metal plate bench table, 1/8˝ to 1/4˝:
Use 3/16˝ countersunk machine screws. Drill and
tap the mounting holes or use washers and nuts
under the table.
Mounting the BENCHJAWSTM
1. Locate the Positioning Flanges (d) on the
BENCHJAWSTM body. These Flanges will fit into
holes in the side of the Mounting Bracket. (See Fig.
C1)
2. Locate the BENCHJAWSTM on the Mounting Bracket
so the Positioning Flanges are properly seated in the
holes of the Mounting Bracket. (See Fig. C2, C3)
3. Tighten the Rear Bolt securely into the Hex
Flange Nut on the Mounting Bracket to fasten the
BENCHJAWSTM to the table. (See Fig. D)
NOTE: There is a locating flange at the rear which will
fit into a matching hole in the Mounting Bracket.
While holding the rear of the BENCHJAWSTM down,
tighten the rear Locking Knob into the Flange Nut of the
Mounting Bracket.
Check that the BENCHJAWSTM is now securely mounted.
4. Install the Foot Pedal Assembly (6)using the provided
one M6×45 Bolt and one M6 nut. (See Fig. E)
NOTE: There are different height settings. Choose
the appropriate level according to the height of the
workbench. Because the Pedal will extend down
0-5.5˝ (0-140 mm) when depressed, make sure there is
enough clearance between the Pedal and floor.
- CLAMPING
1. Place the workpiece against the Fixed Jaw (10) and
slide the Moving Jaw (1) forward manually until it
touches the workpiece. Or, if preferred, the Foot
