Hi,
The clamps on my 299 are engaging as soon as i turn on the Machine.
They are normally in neutral and only engage when either the foot-peddle is engaged or the Clamp Positioning button is turned to on.
There is a video below to Illustrate the problem
Any Help/Advice would be much appreciated

Re: Cassese 299 Clamp Problem
So using a bit of intuition and gut instinct I felt the issued lied around the clear tube going into the foot peddle (4)
Started by taking off external cover
Then carefully removed top with suitable allen key - To find this
So I put the broken spring back in, just put smaller bit down bottom and inverted longer piece and re-assembled.
I'ts now all working properly again, however don't see spring lasting.
Anybody out there sell this part ?

Not sure, but I'd guess that that spring is maybe not specially made for that machine. Lots of springs available online so it's a question of some careful measuring and finding one the right size.
A few here to choose from....

Re: Cassese 299 Clamp Problem
Thanks Prospero,
Was thinking the same thing, local hardware only has 6mm x 25 mm
Need 5mm x 25 mm to fit into hole
