Cleaning Fingers
Although rust preventative was applied only to
the visible surfaces of the clamping fingers (see
Figure 5), some may have worked in between and
underneath them. We recommend you remove all
clamping fingers and thoroughly clean them.

To remove the clamping fingers, move clamping
handles (see Figure 5) toward back of machine

screws and remove the clamping fingers and toe
clamps (see Figure 6).

After all fingers have been cleaned, coat them
liberally with a metal protectant (see Page 19),
and clean the finger guide on the clamping leaf.
Place the fingers along the guide on the clamp-
ing leaf, align the toe clamps to catch the bottom
of the clamping leaf, and tighten the cap screws
enough so the fingers will not fall off. When done,
make sure fingers are properly aligned (refer to
Aligning Fingers on Page 15).

forcement to support the weight of the machine
and workpiece materials.
Placement Location
Consider anticipated workpiece sizes and addi-
tional space needed for auxiliary stands, work
