UNCLAMPING THE WORKPIECE
See Figure 10.
Always support the workpiece BEFORE unclamping it to
prevent the workpiece from falling off the work station.
 Pull the lock/unlock latch up to unlock.
 Step 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.
 Push the sliding clamp toward the rear of the work station
then remove the workpiece.
USING ONE SIDE OF THE CLAMP
See Figure 11.
If a large or awkward workpiece can only be clamped on
one side of the clamps, it will be necessary to use a spacer.
Place a spacer the same thickness as the workpiece on the
other side of the clamps from the workpiece to keep clamps
from skewing.
CLAMPING WIDE WORKPIECES
See Figure 12.
The work station can support wide workpieces. To clamp a
wide workpiece (up to 37-1/2 inches long), it will be neces-
sary to remove the clamp pads as describe in the Mainte-
nance section and place the sliding clamp in the "reverse
position".
 Pull the lock/unlock latch up to unlock.
 Push the sliding clamp toward the rear of the work station
and off its tracks.
 Turn the clamp around (180˚ degrees).
 Slide the clamp back on the tracks.
NOTE: When clamping long or heavy materials, always
provide proper support for the workpiece.
