Proper setup is crucial for achieving optimal results with your Rockler Mini Deluxe Panel Clamps. It is highly recommended to perform a dry run without glue to familiarize yourself with the clamping mechanism before a live glue-up.
- ഘടകങ്ങൾ അൺപാക്ക് ചെയ്യുക: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Identify the clamp rails, headstocks (with handles), and tailstocks.
- Cl കൂട്ടിച്ചേർക്കുകamps: Slide the headstock and tailstock onto the clamp rails. Ensure they are oriented correctly. The sawtooth pattern on the rails allows for easy adjustment.
- പ്രാരംഭ ക്രമീകരണം: Place the panel you intend to glue between the assembled clamps. Adjust the headstock and tailstock along the sawtooth rails to roughly match the width of your panel. The integrated feet in the rails provide clearance for easier adjustment.
- ഡ്രൈ റൺ: Practice engaging the scissor-action couplers and tightening the handles. Observe how the clamps apply pressure and flatten the panel. This practice will help you understand the necessary tension and alignment for your project.

- Tighten Handles: Turn the handles on the headstocks to apply even pressure. Tighten gradually and alternately to ensure the panel remains flat and the joints are flush. The clamps are designed to force the panel flat, eliminating bowing.
- വിന്യാസം പരിശോധിക്കുക: Visually inspect the panel to confirm it is flat and the joints are tightly closed and flush. Adjust tension as needed.
- ക്യൂറിംഗ് സമയം: Allow the glue to cure completely according to the glue manufacturer's instructions before removing the clamps.
- Cl റിലീസ് ചെയ്യുകamps: Once the glue is cured, loosen the handles and disengage the scissor-action couplers to release the panel.

ട്രബിൾഷൂട്ടിംഗ്
If you encounter issues while using your panel clamps, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
| പ്രശ്നം | സാധ്യമായ കാരണം | പരിഹാരം |
|---|---|---|
| Panel not flat or joints not flush | Uneven pressure, insufficient clamps for panel length, improper initial setup. | Ensure even tightening of both clamps. For longer panels, consider using additional clamps. Perform a dry run to refine setup technique. |
| Difficulty in setting up clampവേഗം | Lack of familiarity with the clamping mechanism, fast-setting glue. | Practice with dry runs until comfortable. Use wood glue with a longer open time for complex glue-ups. |
| Glue sticking to clamps | Excessive glue squeeze-out, dried glue. | Wipe off excess glue immediately after clamping. clamp surfaces are designed to resist glue, but prompt cleaning is best. |
