The incorrect use of the vice can cause irreparable damage to the
fork.
Scrupulously follow the instructions below:
• Limit the use of the vice to those operations where the use of the same is
absolutely necessary;
• Use a vice with padded jaws;
• Avoid over tightening the vice;
• Avoid clamping parts of the fork where even slight ovalization could damage
the part;
The figure shows the zones recommended for fixing the fork in the vice.
