SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in personal injury.
•Make sure all moving parts are free from interference.
•Keep hands clear of all moving parts.
• Ensure Uni-Jaws is set-up on firm ground in a stable manner.
• Use Uni-Jaws in a dry place protected from rain.
• Keep work area well-lit.
• Never stand or sit on the Uni-Jaws.
• Be aware of overbalancing. When a large piece is cut from one end of a job,
the remaining piece may be heavy enough to over-balance the Uni-Jaws.
Always ensure the workpiece is well supported.
The Uni-Jaws are the ultimate portable work vice for the
workshop. With a powerful clamping force of up to 1000kg
and large vice jaws the Uni-Jaws will hold just about
anything including timber, metal and even logs when fitted
with the log jaws.
The Uni-Jaws feature twin chrome rails for greater durability
and easy sliding of the rear jaws, with 18 indents the quick-
release rear jaws can be quickly adjusted to suit both small
and large workpieces.
As opposed to a traditional vice positioned on a workbench
the Uni-Jaws give you 360°access to your workpiece for
ultimate flexibility and ease of use.
The steel construction increases durability and extends the
life of the jaws whilst the folding legs provide stability on
most surfaces and can be easily folded-up to allow fo easy
storage and transportation.
This product is intended for DIY use only.

5. To raise the opposite front leg first remove
the front leg support brace (13) from the
holding bracket (Fig. 5).
6. Fully raise the opposite front leg (Fig. 6)
ensuring the locking pin clicks into the
opposite pin hole.
7. Swing the support brace (13) to the opposite
front leg and place it into position between
the front support brace locking knob (14)
and front leg.
8. Ensure the brace is positioned between the

OPERATION

Adjusting the Front Vice Jaw
1. Rotating the front vice jaw clamping handle (5)
will move the front vice jaw (1) backwards and
forwards (Fig. 10).
2. Rotating in a clockwise direction moves the front
vice jaw forward towards the rear jaw, rotating in
an anti-clockwise direction moves the front vice
jaw backwards towards the front of the Uni-Jaws.
Adjusting the Rear Vice Jaw
1. The rear vice jaw is adjustable to 18 detent
positions (8) located at 50mm intervals.
2. To adjust the rear vice jaw pull back on the 2 rear
vice jaw locking pins (6) (Fig. 11) and move the
rear vice jaw backwards and forwards along the
vice rails (7) to the desired detent position (8).
3. Letting go of the rear vice jaw locking pins (6) will
allow the rear vice jaw to stop at the next
available vice rail detent (8).
4. By pulling back on the 2 rear vice jaw locking pins (6) and rotating 45° (Fig. 12) the
rear vice jaw can be freely moved backwards and forwards along the vice rails (7)
without locking into position (Fig. 13).
5. When the rear jaw needs to be locked into position simply rotate the rear vice jaw
locking pins 45° one more time, they will now click into the next available detent (8)
when moved backwards or forwards on the vice rails (7).

3. Position the rear vice jaw as close as possible
to the front vice jaw and ensure it is locked
into one of the 18 detents on the vice rails.
4. Rotate the clamping handle (5) in a
clockwise direction to move the front vice
jaw towards the rear vice jaw and clamp the
workpiece (Fig. 15).

hex key (19) (Fig. 19).
4. The hex screws do not need to be completely
removed, simply loosen until the jaw facing can
be raised.
5. Slightly raise the jaw facing (3) and remove from
the front vice jaw (Fig. 20).
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 for the rear vice jaw.
7. Attach the log jaw facing (18) onto the front vice
jaw ensuring the 2 hex screws are protruding
through the 2 slots in the log jaw (Fig. 21).
8. Tighten the 2 hex screws by rotating in a
clockwise direction using the 6mm hex key (19)
(Fig. 22).
9. Tighten both hex screws until the log jaw is
secure on the vice jaw.
