GENERAL SAFETY RULES - FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS
WARNING! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
may create a fire.
• A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be
recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable
for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
• Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any
other batteries may create a risk of fire.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your
hair, clothing , and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts. Air vents cover moving parts and should be avoided.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before
inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery
pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is
left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools,
with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on
another tool.
Service
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
(Figure A)
1. Open/close switch
2. Quick slide button
3. Wrench
4. Manual driving recess
5. Screw
6. Rubber feet
7. Battery compartment
Battery Installation (Figure B)
Loosen the screw in the battery compartment cover (7) using the small blade of the supplied
wrench (3). Pull the compartment cover down and out as shown in figure B. Insert 4 fresh 1.5
volt AA batteries making sure to match (+) and (-) terminals correctly. Push the compartment
cover back into position. Retighten
compartment cover screw.
Warning: Batteries can explode, or leak
and can cause injury or fire. To reduce this
risk:
• Carefully follow all instructions and warnings
on the battery label and package.
• Always insert batteries correctly with regard
to polarity (+ and -), marked on the battery
and the equipment.
• Do not short battery terminals.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace
all of them at the same time with new
batteries of the same brand and type.
• Remove dead batteries immediately and
dispose of per local codes.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
• Remove batteries if the device will not be
used for several months.
"Transporting batteries can possibly cause
fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such
as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous
Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in
commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and carryon luggage) UNLESS they
are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries,
make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that
could contact them and cause a short circuit."
OPERATION
Quick Slide Button (Figure C)
The quick slide button (2) allows the screw (5) to
be moved up and down manually.
• Position the material to be clamped between
the screw foot (6) and the frame foot (6).
• Press the quick slide button (2) and allow the
screw foot to contact the material being
clamped.
CAUTION: If pressing the quick slide button
with the AutoClamp
may slide quickly in an opening direction.
Always control the screw movement
NOTE: If the screw fails to move when
depressing the quick slide button, release the quick slide button, momentarily actuate
the close side of the open/close switch and after releasing the open/close switch,
re-engage the quick slide button.
Open/Close Switch (Figure D)
Use the open/close switch (1) to apply and
release a clamping force.
• To apply a clamping force, advance the screw
in a closing direction by depressing the switch
in the closing direction.
• To stop the screw advancement, release the
switch.
NOTE: To achieve maximum auto clamping,
keep the switch depressed until the tool stops
running. When the tool stops running immediate-
ly release the switch. Keeping the switch
depressed after the tool stops running will not
further increase the clamping force and may
cause damage to the tool and shorten battery
life. Always be certain the material is clamped
securely.
• To relieve the clamping force, depress the switch in the opening direction.
CAUTION: When relieving the clamping force, the material may be free to shift.
Always control the material movement.
NOTE: Always use the open/close switch to release the clamping force. After
reversing the screw and releasing the clamping force, use the quick slide button and
manually move the screw up. The quick slide button will not work unless pressure is
released first.
NOTE: If the clamp fails to open when depressing the switch in the opening direction,
the clamp can be opened manually by inserting the hex end of the supplied
screwdriver into the recess (4) and turning the wrench counterclockwise.
Using the AutoClamp
Additional clamping force may be possible
manually if needed.
• Use the open/close switch to apply a clamping
force to the material.
• After releasing the close switch, insert the hex
end of the supplied wrench (3) into the recess
(4) as shown.
• Turn the wrench in the clockwise direction to
apply additional clamping force. To relieve the
clamping force manually turn wrench in
counterclockwise direction.
NOTE: If the clamp reaches its maximum
clamping pressure, the internal mechanism
may slip to prevent damage to the tool.
