Operation

Rotating the handle (Figure 6) clockwise moves the slid-
ing jaw toward the fixed jaw; rotating handle counter­clockwise moves the sliding jaw away from the fixed jaw.

Moving the quick release lever (Figure 6) towards the vise
handle disengages the leadscrew so the sliding jaw can be
freely moved by pushing or pulling it.

Tightening/loosening the finger bolt (Figure 6) allows for
adjustment the height of the bench dog.

Maintenance

The painted parts of the vise can be cleaned with a damp
rag. If wood pitch has built up on the components, clean
this with a pitch dissolver or blade and bit cleaner.

Lubricate the leadscrew with dry lubrication, such as sili­cone or graphite, that will not cause sawdust to stick to
the threads.

If material becomes built up on the threads, clean thor­oughly with a pitch dissolver.
