OPERATING IN THE ‘PULL’ CONFIGURATION:
(Preferred setup shown at left)
1. Slip joist gripper over joist, stud, or rafter at distance away from board which will allow for self-locking (depends on gap size-
quickly learned).
2. Swing handle in direction of arrows shown in upper right, lightly holding joist gripper until it bites.
3. When handle is nearly perpendicular to board, tool will self hold. If handle is perpendicular to board, but gap is not closed,
goto step 1 with joist gripper closer to board. If gap is closed, but handle will not swing far enough to self hold, go to step 1 with
joist gripper farther away from board.
HINT: Nail material at joist adjacent to tool or check layout before nailing the joist that the tool is on.
CAUTION! When working on a wall, ceiling, or elevated surface keep a hand on the tool to avoid injury.
TONGUE & GROOVE PLYWOOD:
Follow the steps above. Install plywood with tongue side in unless
using a 1x T-n-G Cam, and push on groove side. Kneel on sheet
with your weight as close to seam as possible. Ride sheet into
place while “ratcheting” tool. See figure at right. Do not nail
previous sheet near edge until new sheet is seated. Do not allow
plywood to “weather” prior to installation.
TONGUE & GROOVE PANELING/PLYWOOD/DECKING:
To use the tool on the tongue side of materials, order a 1x T-n-G™ Cam (#BW-4) for 3/4" or 1" (5/4) thick materials with a tongue
thickness up to 5/16". For materials such as 2x (1-1/2" thick) decking, order a 2x T-n-G™ Cam (#BW-6). The T-n-G cams have a
groove which mates with the tongue to protect it from damage and keep the tool engaged. T-n-G cams are not included with the
tool.
ANGLED DECKING/PANELING:
Apply tool on ‘short’ angle side of joist or stud.
T-n-G™ Cam
FOR USE ON JOISTS/STUDS/RAFTERS THAT ARE NOT 1-1/2" THICK:
To use the tool on engineered lumber, timbers, rough-cut joists, etc., you can order the
Universal Gripper (#BW-9 or BW-10) from Cepco Tool Co. This will attach in place of the
stock joist gripper. These adjust to accommodate joist widths up to 10”. We sell other
useful accessories as well, see back of box or check out our website!
