Install and square the vise.

See video for a how to guide.

Using a wrench, rotate clockwise to clamp and counter-clockwise to unclamp the vise.

Note: Only use the supplied vise handle for clamping your part. Using a longer wrench will create too much clamp force and will cause premature wear or damage to the ways and lead screw of the vise.

Center the part in the vise jaws. Do not clamp on one side of the vise without a similar sized spacer to evenly clamp the part.

Daily Maintenance

 

Clean off all chips from the vise after each use.

Maintain the coolant concentration at the correct percentage to prevent corrosion.

Apply a thin coating of rust preventative to all machined surfaces of the vise.
