Read and understand all

instructions. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below, may

result in personal injury.

• Make sure all moving parts are free

from interference.

• Keep hands clear of all moving

parts.

• Ensure MegaVise II is set up on ﬁrm

ground in a stable manner.

• Be aware of overbalancing. When

a large piece is cut from one end

of a job, the remaining piece may

be heavy enough to over-balance

the MegaVise II. Always ensure the

workpiece is well supported.

• Check to make sure that all ﬁxing

screws and knobs are tight and all

legs are locked into place before

operating the MegaVise II.

• The tool must be used only for its

prescribed purpose. Any use other

than those mentioned in these

instructions will be considered a

case of misuse.

The manufacturer shall not be liable

for any damage or injury resulting

from such cases of misuse.

• The manufacturer shall not be

liable for any changes made to the

tool nor for any damage resulting

from such changes.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

General Safety Rules

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOLS

Using power tools of any kind can be dangerous if safe operating procedures are

not followed. Recognizing the hazards of each tool and using them with respect

and caution will considerably limit the possibility of personal injury. However,

if safety precautions are ignored, personal injury will likely result. Always use

common sense – your personal safety-is your responsibility.

1. Read and understand the Owner’s

Manual, observe the warnings and

instruction labels affixed to the tool.

2. Properly ground all tools.

3. Keep guards in place.

4. Remove adjusting keys and

wrenches.

5. Keep work area clean and dry.

6. Keep children away.

7. Never leave running machines/

tools unattended.

8. Disconnect tools from service.

9. Use correct tools for the job.

10. Never force a tool.

11. Wear safety apparel.

12. Wear safety glasses/goggles.

13. Never stand or sit on tools.

14. Replace damaged components

immediately.

15. Replace damaged components

immediately.

16. Properly anchor power tools to

work stands.

17. Use correct blade for job being

done.

18. Think Safety. Safety is a

combination of operator

awareness, common sense and

alertness at all times.

5Setting Up

1. With MegaVise II

placed upside

down on the

ground, loosen the

rear leg locking

knob (10) and slide

the rear leg from

its storage position. Pivot the leg

just clear of the front face. Slide it

all the way forward then lift and

slide it fully into its housing at the

rear. Tighten the knob.

2. Raise the foot pedal (5) until it

“clicks” into

position.

3. Pivot the front

legs (6) out as far

as they will go

then turn the front

leg locking knobs

(9) clockwise

until the rounded

section of the

knob tightens onto

the leg housing, as

shown.

Several turns may be necessary

on initial set-up until the clamps

tighten into place – a half turn is

all that is required to release the

legs when folding.

4. Turn the

MegaVise II

upright and

recheck that all

legs are locked

ﬁrmly in position.

5. Rotate the moving

jaw locking tab (11) to the horizontal

position and MegaVise II is now

ready for use.

FOLDING

Folding is the

reverse procedure

of above. Ensure

that:

• The lock / release

switch is in the

“unlock position”;

• The foot pedal

locking latch (8)

is used to release

and fold the foot

pedal;

• The moving jaw

locking tab (11) is

in the “vertical”

position to

prevent the jaw

from sliding out

• The rear leg is

engaged fully

into its housing

and the rear leg

locking knob (10)

is tightened ﬁrmly.

When in its

folded position

the rear leg

becomes

a carrying

handle, to aid in

transportation.

SETTING UP

OPERATION

Operation

CLAMPING

1. Check that the

moving jaw

locking tab

(11) is set to

the horizontal

position and push

the moving jaw

(1) back until your workpiece ﬁts

between the jaws.

2. Place the workpiece against the

ﬁxed jaw (2) and slide the moving

jaw forward until it touches the

workpiece.

The jaw can also be advanced

forward by pressing the foot

pedal repeatedly.

3. Slide the lock / release switch (4)

down to the “lock” position.

If preferred the switch can be

locked after the work is clamped.

4. Apply downward

pressure on the

foot pedal (5) until

sufﬁcient clamping

force has been

applied.

For extra force

you may stand on the foot pedal

(maximum 100kg) but do not

jump on it, as you could damage

the unit.

RELEASING

1. Slide the lock/release switch (4) up

to the “release” position.

2. Push on the foot pedal then allow

it to return up and release the

workpiece.

Ensure you are supporting the

workpiece to prevent it from

falling once the jaw is released.

If you have clamped the object

very tightly, you may need to

exert more pressure on the foot

pedal before it will release.

3. Slide the moving jaw back and

remove your workpiece.

CLAMPING ON ONE SIDE OF

THE JAW

On occasions, large or awkward

workpieces can only be clamped on

one side of the jaws.

Always ﬁt a spacer (the same

thickness as your workpiece) to the

other side of the jaws, to prevent the

moving jaw from skewing.

CLAMPING LARGE OBJECTS

(460mm to 956mm)

The moving jaw can be reversed to

accommodate workpieces greater

than 460mm and less than 956mm.

1. Set the lock / release switch (4) to

the “release”

position and

ensure that the

foot pedal is

released.

2. Check that the

moving jaw

locking tab (11) is

in the horizontal

position.

3. Slide the moving

jaw (1) fully from

its tracks.

4. Rotate it 180 degrees and re-insert

it into the tracks.

• 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.

• When clamping large or heavy

materials, provide outboard

support (such as a Portamate PM-

5082 Pedestal Roller) to prevent

MegaVise II from tipping over.

Clamping workpieces up to

956mm can be achieved by

removing the jaw facings (see

page 8).

Using the extension piece for work

pieces over 109cm (43”) to a max

material width of 141cm (55”)

• Pull the sliding jaw right off the

body.

• Engage the the small square bar of

the extension piece into the sliding

jaw

• The clamp that holds the two pieces

together need to be tightened,

using a hex head screwdriver. (not

supplied)

• Slide the extension piece onto

the body giving a larger clamp

distance.

USING AS AN ANVIL

The ﬁxed jaw is sufﬁciently robust

to be used as an

anvil for strip metal

work.

Do not use the

moving jaw as

an anvil. You

could damage

it.

USING AS A PRESS

When the lock /

release switch

(4) is in the

release position

MegaVise II can be

used as a press.

With each full stroke of the foot

pedal, the moving jaw will advance

about 25mm.

GENERAL OPERATING ADVICE

When working along the line of the

jaws, place your foot on the foot

plates (15) to prevent MegaVise II

from moving.

Ripping a plank

1. When ripping a plank, stop your cut

before reaching the jaws.

2. Remove the

workpiece and

re-clamp with

sufﬁcient amount

of the cut beyond

the jaws, so that

you can drop

in your saw to

recommence

your cut.

3. Before clamping,

insert a spacer

slightly thicker

than your saw

cut, at the jaw

area, to keep the cut open.

Operation

Clamping square tubing

It is easier to

hacksaw square

tubing or similar on

the diagonal.

Use the V-grooves

in the urethane

jaws to securely

hold your material.

Sharpening chainsaws

MegaVise II makes

an ideal clamp to

hold a chainsaw

while sharpening

the teeth.

If sharpening a chainsaw use

two wooden blocks, either

side of the bar, to ensure the

clamping jaws are clear of the

chain, which can then be rotated

as each tooth

is ﬁled.

• Any damage to MegaVise II should

be repaired and carefully inspected

before use, by qualiﬁed repair

personnel.

• Servicing should only be carried

out using original Portamate

replacement parts.

REMOVING THE URETHANE

JAW FACINGS

The jaw facings

can be removed to

achieve a greater

clamping range, or

for replacement if

worn or damaged,

or when ﬁtting the

optional jaws.

1. The ﬁxed jaw

facing (12) is

removed by

prying it off the

ﬁxed jaw (2) using

a screwdriver

or similar.

2. To remove the

moving jaw

facing, push the

backing face to

the right (when

viewed from the

front of MegaVise II) to disengage

the connection pins. The backing

face can then be removed,

allowing the front to be pulled

off the moving jaw.

The pawl carrier

pivot pin may

occasionally require

a small amount of

spray lubricant, as

shown, if it doesn’t

pivot smoothly.
