What to do if my MEP SHARK 282 Saw's cutting vice won't close or open (MA version)?
- T
  Teresa JohnsonSep 4, 2025
  If the cutting vice on your MA version saw won't close or open: * **VM: Cutting Vice Valve:** Ensure the valve is operating correctly, replace if necessary. * **Vice Cylinder:** Check that air is not leaking through the cylinder seals by removing the hose (from the quick connector), where there is no pressurized air, and checking whether air escapes from the joint. If air is escaping, replace the seals or the entire cylinder. * **Compressed Air Supply Hose:** Check the hose is not kinked or blocked. Remove the obstruction. * **Air Treatment Unit:** Check that the air treatment group is supplying the pressure shown on the gauge.
