VISE OPERATION
Make sure the vise selection (size and type) is appropriate for use and application. Larger vises are
readily available through Forward Vises.
Step 1:Open the vise by turning the vise handle counterclockwise. Do not open beyond the vises
rated capacity (jaw opening).
Step 2:Place the workpiece between the serrated jaws of the vise.
Step 3:Close vise by turning the handle clockwise until the item is snug between the serrated jaws.
Step 4:Continue to tighten the screw handle until you can no longer move (twist) the clamped item.
Do not over-tighten as this may damage the item and/or the vise.
Step 5: When finished working on the item, slowly turn the screw handle counterclockwise to release
the item.
SWIVEL BASE OPERATION
The vise, typically positioned perpendicularly to the workbench, allows work from either side.
However, for better and safer access to the item, it may need repositioning. Follow these
steps to adjust the vise's position:
Step 1: Secure the item in vise and gently loosen each lockdown on vise's sides. Avoid over-
loosening or entirely removing the lockdowns to prevent vise from tipping over, which could cause
serious injury. Turn each lockdown about a quarter turn counterclockwise until vise can pivot at base.
Step 2: Pivot the vise to improve and secure access to the item.
Step 3: Firmly clamp the vise to the base by tightening each lockdown in a clockwise direction.
