Clamp slips or does not hold workpiece securely.Insufficient tightening; oily or slippery workpiece surface; damaged swivel pad; clamp capacity exceeded.Tighten further (without overtightening); clean workpiece surface; replace swivel pad (95-411); use a larger clamp if capacity is exceeded.
Forcing screw is difficult to turn.Lack of lubrication; dirt/debris in threads; bent screw.Apply lubricant to threads; clean threads thoroughly; if bent, replace forcing screw (95-458).
Clamp frame appears bent or cracked.Excessive force applied; impact damage.Неадкладна спыніце выкарыстанне. A damaged frame compromises safety and performance. Replace the clamp.
