• Storage: Store the clamp in a dry environment to prevent rust and corrosion. Keep it away from extreme temperatures.
• Inspection: Regularly check for loose screws, worn parts, or any damage. Tighten screws as needed. Replace any damaged components immediately.

6. Troubleshooting

• Clamp not holding pressure: Check if the jaws are clean and free of debris. Ensure the workpiece surface is not excessively slippery. Inspect the trigger mechanism for any obstructions.
• Jaws not moving smoothly: Clean the rail and apply a small amount of lubricant. Check for any bent or damaged parts that might impede movement.
