The next step if still sticking, would be to loosen off the screws at either end of the cutter holding the base to the worktop as shown. Important – Only loosen by quarter of a turn each and then check if the issue is solved.

if your clamp is still sticking, the next step would be to undo the screw either end of the machine as shown by only quarter of a turn and see now if the clamp is working smoothly and returning to the resting position.

If the clamp bar is still not returning to its closed resting position then these are the final steps.

On an E3 BenchTop you will need to fully undo the screws as shown and lift the machine from the base. This gives access to the black block underneath.

Once you have gained access to underneath the clamp loosen the two screws in the black blocks at both ends of the machine.

Check the clamp movement now and adjust all screws as necessary to tighten if the clamp is now too loose. Once satisfied attach the clamp bar back to the base.
