NOTE: When clamping long or heavy materials,
always provide proper support for the work-
piece.
USING AS AN ANVIL
When
the
rubber
clamp pads are re-
moved
from
both
clamps,
the
fixed
clamp on the work
station
is
strong
enough to use as an
anvil for strip metal
work. (See replacing
the clamp pads in the
maintenance
section
for pad removal in-
structions.)
NOTE: Only the fixed clamp may be used as an
anvil. Do not use the sliding clamp as an anvil.
USING AS A PRESS
With the lock / unlock latch in the unlock posi-
tion and the rubber clamp pads removed (see
maintenance section), the work station can be
used as a press by stepping repeatedly on the
foot pedal.
OPERATING TIPS
• Use the grooves in the clamp pads to securely
hold material such as tubing.
• The easiest way to hacksaw square tubing is
on the diagonal.
• Sharpening a chain saw blade is made easier
using two wooden blocks on either side of the
bar thus ensuring the chain can be rotated as
each tooth is filed.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: When servicing, use only identi-
cal ridgid replacement parts. Use of any other
parts may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage
from various types of commercial solvents and
may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths
to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
E N G L I S H
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake
fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetrating oils, etc., Come in contact with
plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken
or destroy plastic which may result in serious
personal injury.
REPLACING THE CLAMP PADS
To replace clamp pads
or to remove them for
greater clamping range:
To replace the clamp pad
on the fixed clamp:
• Pry off the fixed clamp
pad
using
a
flathead
screwdriver.
• Place a new clamp pad
over the holes in the fixed
clamp and press the pad into place.
To replace the clamp pads on the sliding clamp:
• Hold the front clamp pad and slide the back
clamp pad to the right freeing the pads from
one another.
• Pull the clamp pads apart.
• Place a new front clamp pad into the holes on
the sliding clamp.
• Align the new back clamp pad holes over the
tabs from the front clamp pad and press the
pads together.
• Slide the back clamp pad to the left while
hold the front clamp pad in place.
LUBRICATING THE CLAMP MECHANISM
If the sliding clamp
doesn't
move
smoothly,
remove
the
sliding
clamp
and spray the clamp
mechanism
with
a
small amount of spray
lubricant.
