OPERATION

1. Adjusting the vise base plate, loosen the adjustable base screw (part / adjustable base screw) until loose. Rotate the vise to the desired position and tighten the before-mentioned adjustable base screws.
2. Clamping turns the adjustable screw (part/adj screw) to the desired clamping force. At no point should you use an extended pole and/or tube to increase the amount of force applied to the adjustable screw, as it will damage the vise.
3. Anvil (if your vise includes one) when using the anvil (part/anvil) be sure to exercise caution. Never hit with a hardened striking tool as it may cause chipping of the tool and/or the anvil and/or personal injury.

2. With a marker, trace the inside of the bolt mounting holes.
3. Remove the vise and pre-drill holes for mounting hardware.
4. Place the vise back in place and align the bolt pattern of the base with pre-drilled mounting holes.
