4 MACHINE-SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
Please read the safety instructions! These instructions will make it easier
for you to handle the device and help prevent misunderstanding and
possible damage or injury.
1. Keep work area clear and well lit.
2. Keep children and bystanders away. Do not let persons not involved in the work near the
work area.
3. Make sure all moving parts are free from interference.
4. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing that can be caught in moving parts.
5. Use personal protective equipment. Use safety goggles, ear muffs and gloves. Wear a
dusk mask if working in a dusty environment.

before operating POWXQ9100.
7. Ensure POWXQ9100 is set up on firm, level ground in a stable manner.
8. Be aware of over-balancing. When a large workpiece is cut from one end, the remaining
piece may be heavy enough to tip the POWXQ9100. Always ensure the workpiece is well
supported.
9. Never stand on this product.
10. Only use POWXQ9100 for its prescribed purpose. Any use other than those mentioned in

6 OPERATION
6.1 Clamping
1. Place the workpiece against the front fixed jaw (2). Slide the moving jaw (2) up against
the workpiece. The moving jaw can either be moved by hand or by using the foot pedal.
2. Slide down the lock / unlock switch to engage the lock. Press down on the foot pedal to
clamp the workpiece. See fig 13.
WARNING: Maximum allowable force on the foot pedal is 100Kg. Do not
stand or jump on the product, as you can cause injury or damage to the
product.
6.2 Releasing
1. Slide up the lock / unlock switch to release the lock.
2. Press down on the foot pedal until it “clicks” to release the clamp.
3. Slide the moving jaw away from the workpiece. See fig 14.
NB: You will need to exert a similar pressure on the foot pedal as was used
to initially clamp the workpiece.
WARNING: Ensure the workpiece is supported to avoid it falling when the
jaw is released.
6.3 Clamping on one side of the jaw
On occasion large or awkward workpieces can only be clamped on one side of the jaws. If this
is the case then avoid excessive use of clamping force. See fig 15.
6.4 Clamping square tube
Clamping square tubing or similar material either on the diagonal or flat side using the grooves
in the jaw pads for alignment.
6.5 Clamping square pieces vertically
On occasion tubing or other square workpieces need to be clamped vertically on the centre of
the jaws. Use the grooves on the jaw pad to align the workpiece. A hole accommodates
workpieces up to 40mm width to be clamped vertically. See fig 16.
6.6 Clamping large objects (clamping range >450mm)
To clamp larger workpieces the moving jaw can be reversed to increase the clamping range,
up to 956mm.
1. Remove the moving jaw by sliding it from the tracks.
2. Rotate the moving jaw 180° and re-assemble. See fig 17.
WARNING: Whenever clamping workpieces up to the maximum clamping
range ensure the work piece rests down on the moving jaw and remains
parallel to it.
