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 in the
shipping carton (instruction manual available online
at
www.kurtworkholding.com). 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 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.
