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, chip guard and instruction manual in the shipping carton. The
chip guard rests between the ways of the vise and can be trimmed to
size to help keep the chips out of the screw. The handle is specifically
designed to provide maximum torque to your vise. 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
other 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 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.

Operating Instructions

For proper vise operation insert the handle on to the hex end of the
vise. Rotate clockwise to clamp and counterclockwise to unclamp your
vise. This handle, combined with the correct amount of torque will
provide you with all the clamping force you will need to machine your
parts. DO NOT use any other type of pressure to open or close your
vise.
The uses of handle extensions, air impact wrenches, breaker
bars or hammer strikes are not recommended and will void the
warranty if used. This will also cause damage to the thrust bearing
and screw threads. If you need more clamping force you may require a
larger vise.
To properly clamp a part in your Kurt vise you should place the part in
the center of the jaws resting on the ways of the vise. Clamping only
on one side or above the movable and stationary jaws can result in jaw
lift or loss of accuracy. (See Fig. 1 on next page)
If one-sided clamping is necessary you MUST use a dummy part on
the other side. When using parallels or step jaws you must select a size
that keeps the bottom of the clamped part at or below the top of the
movable and stationary jaws. Always use jaw plates for clamping. If jaw
plates are not used damage to the mounting surface of the movable
and stationary jaw will occur. This will result in reduced clamping
accuracy and repeatability.
