4.8.2a Vertical clamp position adjustment

•  Position the mouldings to be assembled on the working bench

•  Select the pressure pad suitable with the profile of the moulding 

to be assembled and put it on bottom part of the the vertical bar

•  Loosen the handle (see fig.15) that locks the clamp,which 

holds the vertical bar. This will permit its movement forward or 

backward. You want the pressure pad directly over the lath in the 

same position over the Wedge insertion point.

•  Tighten the handle once you have reached the proper position

4.8.2b Vertical clamp height adjustment

•  Press the lever (see fig. 16)  and adjust the pressure pad height 

over the frame. It suggested that you put the bar height between 

5 & 8 mm over the moulding. This will help avoid any accidental 

fingers crushing.

•  Release the lever once once you have reached the proper height.

•  Lower the vertical clamp by pressing half way down on the foot 

pedal.  This  will  verify  that  the  mouldings  to  be  assembled  are 

properly clamped

•  Press all the way down on the foot pedal to drive the wedge into 

the laths.

4.8.3  Horizontal clamp adjustment

The horizontal clamp has a series of holes in the flat bar (see fig.17). 

Lift the bar, to take it out of its initial position. You will now be able to move it forward and backward. To lock the 

bar it is sufficient to insert it into the proper peg located in the middle of the guide channel.

Proceed as follows to position the frontal Clamp correctly:

1.  Remove the bar off of the peg by lifting it by about 10-15 mm (Picture 17). Move it forward until it touches the 

moulding to be assembled (see Picture 18);

2.  Lower the bar into the next available hole and over the peg.

In case of continued use without needing to remove the frontal clamp from its position, it is 

possible to fix it into the peg using the proper screw.

4.8.4  Working pressure adjustment

The working pressure must be adjusted to the hardness of the mouldings to be assembled. The pressure regulation 

allows you to change the clamping pressure of mouldings to be assembled. Too high of a working pressure can 

cause a poor junction and (especially on small-size frames) the moulding could be crushed. Too low of a working
