Operating instructions
Note: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully.
INTENDED USE
The JAWHORSE® is a versatile workstation for holding, clamping,
supporting.
SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Put the JAWHORSE® upside down on the ground, loosen the
Rear Leg Locking Knob (5) and slide the rear leg from its storage
position. Pivot the leg to position and slide it all the way upward
then lift and slide it fully into its housing at the rear. Tighten the
knob. (See Fig. A -C)
2. Raise the Foot Pedal (9) until it “clicks” into position.
(See Fig. D-E)
3. Rotate the Front Legs (10) all the way forward until they “click”
into position. The Front Leg Locking Latch (15) will be open
automatically. (See Fig. E)
4. Turn the JAWHORSE® upright and recheck that all legs are
locked firmly in position.
FOLDING INSTRUCTIONS
Folding is the reverse procedure of above. (See Fig. F-K)
1. Ensure that the Lock / Release Switch (13) is in the “unlock
position”. ( See Fig. F)
2. Turn the unit upside down. Slide the front leg latch and fold the
Front Legs (10) into position. ( See Fig. G )
3. Draw the Foot Pedal (9 ) locking latch and place the Foot Pedal in
folding position. ( See Fig. H)

4. Loosen the Rear Locking Knob ( 5). Slide the Rear Leg ( 6 ) from
housing and back into storage position. Make sure the Rear Leg is
engaged fully into storage position and the Rear Leg Locking Knob
is tightened firmly.
5. You can carry the Rear Leg as a carry handle when the
JAWHORSE® is fully folded in its position. (See Fig. I)
6. You can also slide the Rear Leg to use as a handle. With the
Roller (12) on the front, transporting the JAWHORSE® is easy and
fast. Note that the Roller is not designed to withstand rigorous
transport, such as bouncing down stairways or traversing rough
terrain. (See Fig. J, K)
CLAMPING
1. Place the workpiece against the Fixed Jaw (14) and slide the
Moving Jaw (1) forward until it touches the workpiece.
The Foot Pedal (9) can be pressed repeatedly to make the jaw
move forward.
2. Slide the Lock / Release Switch (13) down to the “lock” position.
(See Fig. L)
3. Apply downward pressure on the Foot Pedal until enough
clamping force is applied. (See Fig. M)
Warning: Maximum allowable force on the foot pedal is
100kg. Do not stand or jump on the unit, as you can cause
injur y or damage to the unit.
RELEASING
1. Slide the Lock / Release Switch (13) up to the “release” position.
(See Fig. F)
2. Push on the Foot Pedal(9), allow it to return up and release the
workpiece. (See Fig. M)

If you have clamped the object very tightly, you must exert similar
pressure on the foot pedal before it will release.
Warning: Ensure you are supporting the workpiece to avoid
its falling when the jaw is released.
3. Slide the moving jaw back and remove your workpiece. (See Fig. N )
CLAMPING ON ONE SIDE OF THE JAW
Sometimes, large or awkward workpieces can only be clamped
on one side of the jaws. In this case, be sure to avoid excessive
clamping force.
CLAMPING SQUARE PIECES VERTICALLY (See Fig.O)
Sometimes, tubing or other square (steel, aluminum or other)
workpieces need to be clamped vertically on the center of the
jaws. The hole on the base plate under the jaw accommodates
pieces up to 6cm in width.
CLAMPING LARGE OBJECTS [450mm TO 940mm]
The move jaw can be reversed to accommodate large workpieces.
1. Set the Lock / Release Switch (13) to the “release” position and
ensure that the Foot Pedal ( 9) is released.
2. Slide the Moving Jaw (1) fully from its tracks. (See Fig. N)
3. Rotate the jaw 180 degrees and re-insert it into the track.
(See Fig. P)
Warning: Whenever clamping objects with the moving jaw
reversed, ensure the workpiece sits down onto the sliding jaw,
and is parallel to it. Avoid clamping workpieces at the top of
the jaws (with a gap between the workpiece and the base of
the moving jaw) as excessive pedal pressure could damage the
unit.

Note: Some operations such as hand sawing or planing exert
enough pressure to cause the JAWHORSE® to slide. In these
situations, it is acceptable to hold the JAWHORSE® in place by
standing on the foot plate. (See Fig. R)
When clamping large or heavy materials, provide outboard
support. Never step on the footplate to prevent JAWHORSE
®
from tipping over, especially when using power tools. (See
Fig.Q)
CLAMPING SQUARE TUBING
Clamp square tubing or similar material either on the diagonal or flat
side. Use the jaws to securely hold your material. ( See Fig. S)
REMOVING THE JAW FACINGS (See Fig.T)
The jaw facings can be removed to achieve a greater clamping
range, replace if worn or damaged, or when fitting the optional
jaws.
Remove the screws in the center of jaws, the jaw facing (13, 14)
can be pulled off from the jaw by hand.
Optional accessories
1) WELDING JAW (See Fig.U)
The welding jaw helps to hold items while welding. The thick
walled cast aluminum jaws can hold the larger part. The holding
arm clamps the second part that is to be welded onto the larger
part, and more importantly, accurately positions it.

2) CHAIN SAW JAW (See Fig.V-X)
Suitable for gripping logs or poles, and holding the chainsaw for
sharpening. These steel jaws also bolt onto the standard steel jaws
and are zinc plated for corrosion resistance.
Chain saw clamping blocks pivot back out of the way when not in
use and pivot forward when required.
Logs or poles up to 300mm in diameter are gripped firmly for chain
sawing, drilling, rabbeting etc.
The chain saw clamping vice makes an ideal clamp to hold a
chainsaw while sharpening the teeth. Two pairs of vices, either
side of the bar, ensure the clamping jaws are clear of the chain,
which can then be rotated as each tooth is filed.
3) SADDLEBAG
Saddlebag provides a convenient place to hold tools and other bits
and pieces.
Maintenance
Your tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your tool. Never use water or
chemical cleaners to clean your tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
Always store your tool in a dry place.
Environmental protection
Waste products must not be disposed of with household waste.
Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local
authorities or retailer for recycling advice.
