5. SETTING UP (Fig. 2-10)
1. With multi purpose working station placed upside
down on the ground, loosen the rear leg locking
knob (5) and slide the rear leg from its storage
position. Pivot the leg just clear of the front face.
Slide it all the way forward then lift and slide it fully
into its housing at the rear. Tighten the knob. Fig.
2-4
2. Raise the foot pedal (8) until it "clicks" into position.
Fig. 5
3. Pivot the front legs (9) out as far as they will go
then turn the front leg locking knobs (11) clockwise
until the rounded section of the knob tightens onto
the leg housing, as shown.
Several turns may be necessary on initial set­up
until the clamps tighten into place – a half turn is
all that is required to release the legs when folding.
Fig. 6-8
4. Turn the multi purpose working station upright and
recheck that all legs are locked firmly in position.
Fig. 9
5. Rotate the moving jaw locking tab (3) to the hori-
zontal position and multi purpose working station is
now ready for use. Fig. 10
FOLDING (Fig. 11-15)
Folding is the reverse procedure of above. Ensure
that:
• The lock / release switch is in the "unlock position".
Fig. 11
• The foot pedal locking latch (10) is used to release
and fold the foot pedal. Fig. 12
• The moving jaw locking tab (3) is in the "vertical"
position to prevent the jaw from sliding out. Fig. 13
• The rear leg is engaged fully into its housing and
the rear leg locking knob (5) is tightened firmly.
Fig. 14
When in its folded position the rear leg becomes a car-
rying handle, to aid in transportation. Fig. 15

6. OPERATION

CLAMPING (Fig. 10, 16-18)
1. Check that the moving jaw locking tab (3) is set to
the horizontal position and push the moving jaw
(15) back until your workpiece fits between the
jaws. Fig. 10
2. Place the workpiece against the fixed jaw(14) and
slide the moving jaw forward until it touches the
workpiece. Fig.16
The jaw can also be advanced forward by pressing
the foot pedal repeatedly.
3. Slide the lock / release switch (13) down to the
"lock" position. Fig. 17
If preferred the switch can be locked after the work
is clamped.
4. Apply downward pressure on the foot pedal (8)
until sufficient clamping force has been applied.
Fig. 18
For extra force you may stand on the foot pedal
(maximum 100kg) but do not jump on it, as you
could damage the unit.
RELEASING (Fig. 18-20)
1. Slide the lock/release switch (13) up to the "re-
lease" position. Fig. 19
2. Push on the foot pedal then allow it to return up
and release the workpiece.
Ensure you are supporting the workpiece to pre-
vent it from falling once the jaw is released.
If you have clamped the object very tightly, you
may need to exert more pressure on the foot pedal
before it will release. Fig. 18
3. Slide the moving jaw back and remove your work-
piece. Fig. 20
CLAMPING ON ONE SIDE OF THE JAW
(Fig. 21)
On occasions, large or awkward workpieces can
only be clamped on one side of the jaws. Always fit a
spacer (the same thickness as your workpiece) to the
other side of the jaws, to prevent the moving jaw from
skewing.
CLAMPING LARGE OBJECTS
(460mm to 956mm) (Fig. 10,11, 22­24)
The moving jaw can be reversed to accommo-
date workpieces greater than 460mm and less than
956mm.
1. Set the lock / release switch (13) to the "release"
position and ensure that the foot pedal is released.
Fig. 11
2. Check that the moving jaw locking tab (3) is in the
horizontal position. Fig. 10
3. Slide the moving jaw (15) fully from its tracks.
Fig.22
4. Rotate it 180 degrees and re­insert it into the tracks.
