SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Now that you have your new Kurt Vise, it’s time to set-up and begin using it.
You will see that your new vise comes with a Kurt swivel handle and chip
guard in the shipping carton (instruction manual available online
at
www.kurtworkholding.com). The chip guard rests between the ways of the
vise and can be trimmed to size
(see pg
.
10
)
to help keep the chips away
from the screw. The handle is specifically designed to provide maximum
torque to your vise ( clamping force provided below). Your vise should be
mounted to a clean, flat surface. The surface and the vise must be free of
any chips, dirt
,
or debris of any kind. The mounting surface can be honed if
necessary. Clean the bottom of the vise with solvent or
another
cleaner if
needed.
To minimize vise bed deflection, clamp your Kurt vise to your machine table,
pallet, or sub-plate using the built-in clamping slots or through the body
holes provided.
Additional clamping can be used, but may not be necessary. Please be sure
to exercise good judgment when securing your vise to the mounting surface.
Be sure your vise is secured and will not move when applying the machine
pressure.
