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. 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
ano
ther 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.
