Placement Location

Consider the existing and anticipated needs, the size of
the material to be held in the vise, and the space for
auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when
establishing a location for your new vise. See Figure 1 for
the minimum working clearances.

Workbench Load

Although the D4128 Multipurpose Vise weighs only 22 lbs.,
some workbenches may require additional reinforcement
to support the vise, workpiece, and any hammering or
prying forces that may be applied to them.

Mounting

The multipurpose vise must be clamped to a workbench
or table before use.

To clamp the multipurpose vise, do these steps:

1. Choose a location to clamp the vise that will provide

adequate support for the vise, the workpiece, and
any forces that may be applied during use.

2. Loosen the clamp wide enough to slide it over the

workbench or table surface in the chosen location,
then tighten the clamp.

3. Check that the vise is secure by attempting to rock

the vise back and forth.

—If the vise moves, tighten the clamp.

—If the workbench or table moves, find a more

suitable location.

D4128 Multipurpose Vise Instructions

Operations

To maximize the life of your vise:

• Do not use cheater pipes on the handles to increase

tightening force. Doing so may damage the handles
or threaded portions of the vise.

• Do not heat or weld on the vise to avoid ruining the

heat treating or damaging the finish.

• Do not store the vise in wet or damp locations to

reduce the likelihood of rust or corrosion.

• Only use the anvil for light tapping and workpiece

shaping. Do not use large hammers and avoid
hammering directly on the jaws to avoid the
likelihood of breaking the jaws or damaging the
base.

• Do not pry on clamped materials in such a way that

may bend or break the vise.

• Do not hammer the levers tight do

reduce the chance of damaging the
threads or cam they attach to.

• When loosening the jaws, make sure

your hands will not hit the workpiece,
workbench or vise when the handle
breaks free to reduce the likelihood of
impact or abrasion injuries.

• Every few years, disassemble, clean,

and lubricate the vise using lithium
grease. Otherwise, lubricate as
necessary to prevent corrosion and
maintain smooth-moving components..
