I didn't have much luck with the DVD, there isn't anything on it other than videos. I did find the PDF User Manual on the web though. Not much to it. Basically, with the lock release switch in the up / release position, you manually slide the moving jaw and clamp the work piece between the two jaws. Then flip the lever down to the lock position and use the foot peddle to apply pressure. The foot peddle will lock in place. You can use the foot peddle to slide the moveable jaw as well. It moves one inch per peddle push.
TO release, flip the lever up, and press down on the foot peddle to release it. The lever should be in the release position when you fold up the unit. That's about all I got out of it. Other than things like don't burn it, use it as a hammer, blah blah blah. The foot peddle will take 220 pounds, don't jump on it. Maximum clamping force is 2200 pounds. Guess that means there is a 10 to 1 ratio between downward force on the peddle and clamping force. Happy horsing. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
