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.
