How to Use Vise:
1. Place the Hobby Vise on a smooth flat, non plastic surface. This will support your
object being crafted. Secure the Hobby Vise to the surface by turning the
Hobby Arm (#3) in the opposite direction causing the Suction Cup (#1) to grip the
surface tightly. (See Figure 2) Caution: Use this lightweight Hobby Vise for small
projects only and do not expect it to hold objects too large for its capacity.

horizontally. The swivel of the

#4
Dome (#19) and Hex Shaft (#18) will move the Vise Front and Vise Back (#10 & #14)
to the desired angle for better grip and workability. (See Figure 1)
3. Turn Rod Handle (#7) to open Front Vise (#10) and Rear Vise (#14). Place the object
you wish to work on inside Jaws (#11). Close and tighten Jaws by turning Rod Handle
(#7). Damage could occur if you over-tighten the Jaws.
4. Tilt or swivel Hobby Vise to desired position by loosing Collar (#4) counterclockwise.
When you have the desired angle for working on your project, turn Collar (#4)
clockwise tightly. (See Figure 2)
5. You can reposition your Hobby Vise again and again. The
Replaceable Jaw Covers (#12) (See Figure 3) allows you to work
on delicate projects without damaging your workpiece, making your
Hobby Vise one of your most valuable tools.
