to ensure that their employees have been fully and properly trained in the safe operation of their equipment.
Equipment Labelling
The identification stamping details the product type, model, manufacturer, year of manufacture, maximum working load limit
(WLL), serial number and the jaw range. The CE marking indicates compliance with the essential health and safety
requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Other international standards that the unit conforms to may be shown.
Safety Instructions
Always select the correct size clamp for the job, determine the weight of the plate to be lifted. Plate thickness must be
within the grip range of the clamp.
Always use slings correctly. Pay special attention to the correlation between the lifting angle and the rated load. Use within
specified angles.
Always protect the surfaces of the cam and pad from weld spatters.
Always store and handle clamps correctly.
Always inspect clamps before use and before placing into storage.
Always remove dirt, rust, paint, grease, oil and any other foreign matter from the surface of the steel plate before clamping.
Always use genuine parts when repairing clamps.
Never allow the operator’s attention to be diverted when operating clamps and never leave the suspended load
unattended.
Never use a steel lifting clamp on material other than steel.
Never weld work pieces being lifted by clamp.
Never modify clamp by gas cutting or welding
Never use clamps for lifting high-tensile steel (over 300 HB) or soft steel (under 80 HB)
Never operate clamps unless the load is properly centred.
Never vertically lift material that tapers down to the edge.
Never exceed working load limit shown on clamp.
Never use defective clamps.
Never use the clamp with stainless steel, lead or copper material.
Never over torque the axle.
Never return damaged clamps to storage.
Never lift a plate/object that is not fully engaged with the clamping jaws.
Never lift loads that are not balanced, and the holding action is not secure.
Never lift more than one plate at a time.

2. Function/Operation
The Tiger CSS Safety Screw Cam Clamp is suitable for many applications. It is particularly useful for lifting and pulling sheet
metal, girders, and steel constructions. It is fitted with a moveable Cam on the thread spindle which provides a powerful
clamping force on the object being moved.
It can be used for lifting and transporting a large variety of different shaped steel, ranging from steel plates and structured
steel to curved and spherical shaped steel. As well as transporting plate, this clamp is well-suited to turning over steel
structures and welded constructions. It is also designed to be used in conjunction with a Tiger lever hoist to align steel
structures of fabrications and as an anchor point. These clamps are ideally suited for the construction industry.
Determine the weight of the object being lifted and make sure that it does not exceed the rated load of the clamp. The object
thickness must be within the grip range of the clamp (Chapter 7).
Before lifting the load, confirm that the clamps are in good condition and functioning properly. Inspect the clamp, if cam or
pad teeth are worn or if clamps are damaged, do not use! All personal must stand clear of load while it is being lifted or
moved.
See Chapter 8 for exploded diagram and part names.
The screw tightens when turned clockwise and loosens when turned counterclockwise).
1. Lower the clamp onto plate/object to be lifted., insert the load until it comes into contact with the deepest part of the jaw
opening of main body
2. Turn screw clockwise until the centre-ring on the Cam touches the plate. Tighten the screw further with the handle until
the clamp is fully tightened; The cam will turn back about 3mm after coming into contact with the steel plate when
tightening the forcing screw.
3. Continue to tighten Screw until it stops where the parallel Confirmation Lines align. After confirming the alignment,
tighten further until the force exceeds 25N.m (about 250Kgf. cm). Failure to match the parallel Confirmation Lines could
result in serious injury to person or damage to equipment.
4. The clamp has two shackle holes. Choose the appropriate hole depending on the application. Never use two holes
simultaneously for the same operation.
5. After the load has been lifted a short distance make sure it is well balanced before continuing. Lift slowly and smoothly at
all times.
6. During lifting operation, special attention must be given to prevent the Screw from loosening by an unintended contact
of the Clamp handle with wire rope or any other objects.
7. When loaded, the Cam swivels in proportion to the load applied and the teeth edges of the cam bite into the plate to
increase the clamping force, even when vibrations occur during operation.
8. If guiding a load by hand, place the palm of a gloved hand on top of the load, never grip the load with fingers on the side
or the underside.
9. When detaching the load, lower the plate/object to the ground slowly. To loosen load, turn the handle counterclockwise to
open the cam jaw.

Insert the load completely until it comes into contact
with the deepest part of the jaw opening
Methods of use
1. When lifting at two points, the lifting angle
must be within 60°
2. Always lift from three points when using the
clamps on complex shaped objects.
3. Clamps can also be used for positioning
steel structure for welding, pulling and/or
suspending.
Note - When clamps are used continuously
over long periods of time, check the
clamping force regularly and do not
overload the clamp.

www.tigerlifting.com
Page 5 of 14
Instruction Guide Tiger CSS En 202201 v2.0
4. Inner angle for loading of lever hoists or
chain blocks should be less than 30°.
5. The clamps can be used for lifting pipe
shaped objects and for turning over
material.
Clamps should NOT be used on the following structures
3. Inspection
According to national and international accident prevention and safety regulations, lifting equipment must be inspected:
•in accordance with the risk assessment of the operating company
•prior to initial operation
•before the unit is put into service for any subsequent use
•after substantial changes
•however, at least once every 6 months, by a competent person.
The intervals of inspection must be determined by the individual application and are based upon the type of service to which
the clamp will be subjected. In the event of any defects refer the clamp to a Competent Person for thorough examination.
