NOTE: All parts below refer to the parts listed on page 6 of this manual. Use 3/16”

and Nuts for mounting are NOT provided. You can mount the Vise or use it in a portable
manner, depending on what product you are working on or with.
Setting Up The Vise:

Use the mounting holes on the Vise Base Plate (1) as a template. Set the Vise flat
on the workbench and, with a pencil, mark the points at which to fasten the Vise onto
the workbench. Set the Vise aside.
2.
Drill holes of the appropriate size (where previously marked with a pencil) through
the top of the workbench. Caution: Before drilling holes, check for hidden electrical
wires or cords in drilling path.
3.
Carefully set the Fixed Base (1) of the Vise with the Mounting Holes corresponding
to the holes previously drilled through the top of the workbench.
See Figure 1 next page.
4.
Insert hardened steel bolts (not provided), of the appropriate diameter (to fit 1/2”
diameter mounting holes) and length, downward through the Fixed Base (1) and
through the workbench. The length of the mounting bolts will be determined by the
thickness of the workbench. Secure the mounting bolts in place with the appropriate
washers and nuts.
