Directions of Use for Basket Mold

1. Mount elastic band with screw (s). Pull pin (a) to rotate arm away from transport position to hole indicating desired diameter (b). Lift safety lever (c), lift clamp lever (d) and remove U-clamp (e).

 


 

 

 


2. Use a tape measure to slide the white pointer up to a distance equal to the difference between the radius and the desired rise of the elliptical arch.

 Hold handle (a) with left hand, press trigger (b) with right and slide assembly until white pointer (d) points to desired diameter on vertical scale.

 

 

 

4. Bring flexible band towards clamp (a), replace U-clamp (b). Using table (c) find the number at intersection of diameter and rise. Align this number on inner scale of band to the top of the clamp (d) and lower clamp lever (e).

 

 

Disassembling the Mold!

Lay masonry on form alternating between left and right sides until arch is completed. To remove form once mortar has set, hold handle (e) and either shorten centre pole by removing clip (f) or lower form by pressing trigger (b) of Figure

 
2. Move form away from arch and disassemble in reverse order to instructions. When unclamping elastic band, lift clamp lever (d) in a controlled and slow manner to prevent pinching hand against elastic band.


Warning: Read safety direction before use. Failure to read all labels and follow all instructions may result in inadequate forms and/or serious injury.

As per safety directions, first support the Multiarc by bolting to a stable base using the bolt pattern at the base of centre pole.

For best result, measure the actual span of the arch to be made and make a form of that diameter.

Never create or adjust a form unless the centre pole is fully shortened. To adjust the height of a finished form, one person lifts the Multiarc from handle (e) while a second person insert clip (f) through appropriate hole of centre pole. Rotate handles (g) to fine-tune height.

 Max. Weight 320 kg .

Tip: To protect the device from dirt cover it with plastic film when applied.
