Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears could
result from using this item without proper
protective gear, such as safety glasses, a
respirator, and hearing protection.
Installation
Mount the carving vise on a workbench that is
sturdy enough to hold the weight of the equipment
and any downward pressure that may be applied
during operation.
Another option is a "Direct Mount" (see example
below) where the vise is secured directly to the
workbench with lag screws and washers.

When mounting your carving vise, remember to
allow enough room so workpiece position can be
fully adjusted, and to place carving vise in a well
lit area.
Bench Mounting
The base of this vise has mounting holes that allow
it to be fastened to a workbench or other mounting
surface to prevent it from moving during operation
and causing accidental injury or damage.
The strongest mounting option is a "Through
Mount" where holes are drilled all the way through
the workbench—and hex bolts, washers, and hex
nuts are used to secure the vise in place.

Attaching Workpiece
The Carving Vise faceplate has 16 mounting holes
to accommodate a variety of workpieces. When
attaching a workpiece, use a minimum of four button head screws. Make sure the screws are long
enough to provide a safe, stable work surface, but
will not interfere with carving activities.
Avoid placing hands close to pinch points
located at clamping assembly and retaining
collar. Serious injury may occur.
Refer to Figure 4 to become familiar with the
names and locations of the controls and features.

To attach workpiece to faceplate:
8. Tighten clamping handle.
1. While holding faceplate, loosen clamping
handle (see Figure 4).
2. Remove faceplate/column assembly from
clamping assembly.
3. Locate appropriate position for workpiece on
faceplate.
4. Select at least four mounting holes and mark
through faceplate onto workpiece with sharp
pencil.
Note: Mounting points should be placed
evenly across workpiece to avoid stress that
could cause screws to break.
5. Pre-drill holes in workpiece slightly smaller in
diameter than mounting screws.
6. Position faceplate on workpiece and attach
with button head wood screws.
Note: When carving small, narrow, or oddly
shaped workpieces, it may be necessary
to attach an intermediate base to faceplate
providing a larger, more stable work area for
workpiece.
Adjusting Tilt and Height
1. While holding faceplate, loosen clamping
handle (see Figure 4).
2. Position workpiece.
3. Tighten clamping handle.
Adjusting Rotation
1. Insert pin wrench into retaining collar (see
Figure 6).
DO NOT use screws with tapered heads
to attach the faceplate because they could
split the faceplate, or the screws could snap
off during operation. See the illustration in
Figure 5 for examples.
Correct Incorrect

attachment.
7. With workpiece securely attached to faceplate, re-install faceplate/column assembly
into clamping assembly.
