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!
