ASSEMBLY
1. Remove all components and parts from the box. Your cross vise includes the following
hardware:
• (3) Hex Wrenches
• (2) Locking Nuts
• (2) Flat Washers
• (2) Crank Handles
2. If necessary, adjust the longitudinal (top) feed screw until the handle-mounting portion of
the feed screw protrudes beyond the vise body, as shown in Fig. 1 below. Turning the feed
screw clockwise retracts it; turning it counterclockwise advances it. Turn the feed screw fully
clockwise until it can no longer retract.
3. Mount one of the crank handles on the leadscrew, as shown in Fig. 2 below.
4. Secure the crank handle to the feed screw using the included at washer and locking nut (Fig.
2). Tighten the nut (turning clockwise) against the handle using a 10 mm socket (not included),
then back it off a quarter turn (turning counterclockwise). Turn the handle a couple of times. If
it is dicult to turn, loosen the nut. Adjust the nut as necessary to ensure that the handle turns
smoothly and advances the slide properly.
5. Repeat the same procedure to mount the remaining crank handle on the cross feed screw.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
ADJUSTMENT GUIDE
Your vise comes pre-adjusted from the factory, and should not require adjustment. However, if
the cross or longitudinal slides (Parts 1 & 16) are too tight or too loose, follow the steps below to
adjust them.
1. Locate the three gib screws on the side of the slide in question (Fig. 3).
2. Loosen the three hex nuts (Part 5), using a 10 mm wrench or socket (not included).
(Fig. 4 - Step 2)
MAINTENANCE
Acetone may irritate the skin. Wear gloves and eye protection when using acetone.
• Your vise comes with a layer of anti-rust protective coating on the machined surfaces. Remove
this coating with a clean cloth moistened with acetone, then protect the machined surfaces by
applying a light coat of good-quality paste wax.
• After using your vise, wipe it off with a cloth to ensure that no chips, shavings, or other debris
get into the way of your vise. Keep your vise clean. Periodically check the ways of the vise to
ensure that they are not blocked or damaged by chips, shavings, or other debris.
Gib Screws
3. IF THE SLIDE IS TOO TIGHT
• Loosen the set screws (Parts 6 & 23) using
the included hex wrench (Fig. 4 - 3A).
IF THE SLIDE IS TOO LOOSE
• Tighten the set screws (Parts 6 & 23) using
the included hex wrench (Fig. 4 - 3B).
4. Using the 10 mm wrench or socket, tighten the hex nuts (Part 5) back down. Make further
adjustments as needed.

NOTE: To prevent the bolt from
loosening over time, use split
locking washers between at
washers, or use nylon locking
nuts.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATION
Follow the instructions below to safely and securely mount your
cross vise to a stable workbench. Mounting your vise eliminates
the risk of your vise moving or falling, allowing for more accuracy
and user safety.
1. Select a secure worktop to which your vise will be mounted,
such as a workbench. The workbench should be sturdy and
xed to the oor.
2. Find the best location on your worktop to mount your vise.
It is good to select a spot that allows access to both crank
handles, as well as the vise clamping handle (Part 14).
3. Once you have selected where you want to mount your vise,
use a pencil to mark the holes where the vise will be bolted
(four mounting anges are located on the base). You must
use at least two bolts that are diagonal from each other. Use
four bolts for optimum stability.
4. Move the vise to the side and use a drill to drill out the
marked spots for the bolts.
5. Line up the vise with the drilled holes. Insert bolts and
fasten. If the bolts extend through the bench, place a
washer and nut onto the end. Tighten nuts onto the bolts
using a wrench. (These bolts, washers and nuts are not
included).
Before operation, mount your vise and follow the assembly instructions on page 1 to attach the
handles.
1. Mark your workpiece for your specic job.
2. Rotate the leadscrew with handle counterclockwise to open the jaws. Place workpiece inside
of jaws in desired position. Rotate the handle clockwise to tighten the jaws and rmly secure
your workpiece.
3. To move the secured workpiece back and forth or side to side, rotate the lower and upper
handles.
