Key specifications

How to use

Mount the vise securely to a solid workbench using appropriate fasteners and ensure it is aligned and tightened before use. Open the jaws by turning the handle, place the workpiece between the jaws and tighten until the piece is held firmly but without excessive force that could damage the workpiece. For tasks such as drilling or sawing, position the workpiece so the cutting action moves away from the vise body. Regularly check and tighten mounting fasteners and keep the screw mechanism lubricated to maintain smooth operation.

Recommendations

Use protective jaw covers or soft pads when clamping finished or delicate surfaces to prevent marring. Avoid over-tightening on fragile materials and do not use the vise as an anvil. Inspect the vise periodically for wear, keep the screw and guide surfaces clean and lubricated, and follow safe workshop practices when performing cutting, drilling or grinding operations.
