Once fully assembled, raise the top jaw to its maximum, insert a log ready for cutting, then 'slam' down top jaw into the log and tighten the top jaw locking handle. Check that the work piece is steady and ready for cutting by pressing down on the log at the opposite end to the clamp. Do not exceed maximum safe work load of 25Kg, the recommended length of log inserted for safe cutting should not exceed 1.524 meters. When using a powered saw it is recommended to stand on the same side of the clamp as the clamps ID plate (located on the side of the lower jaw), this will ensure a safe cut of the log right up to the main jaw piece.

Always ensure the correct safety equipment is used when operating the Logmaster™ Clamp.
