4.5-INCH CROSS VISE
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
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 flat 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 difficult
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.

MAINTENANCE
• 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.
WARNING! Acetone may irritate the skin. Wear gloves and eye protection when using acetone.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
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 fixed
to the floor.
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 flanges 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).
NOTE: To prevent the bolt
from loosening over time,
use split locking washers
between flat washers, or use
nylon locking nuts.
OPERATION
Before operation, mount the vise and follow the assembly instructions on page 1 to attach the handles.
1. Mark your workpiece for your specific 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 firmly secure your workpiece.
3. To move the secured workpiece back and forth or side to side, rotate the lower and upper handles.
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 gib screws on the side of the slide in question (Fig. 4).
2.
WARNING! Acetone may irritate the skin. Wear gloves and eye protection when using acetone.
If the slide is too tight:
Loosen the gib screws (Fig. 4 – 1) using the
included hex wrench.
If the slide is too loose:
Tighten the gib screws (Fig. 4 – 1) using the
included hex wrench.
Make further adjustments as needed.
3. NOTE: Adjusting these two screws should be all you need to do in order to adjust your vise properly.
However, if that does not do the trick, you may need to adjust the third gib screw (Fig. 4 – 2).
1. Loosen the hex nut using a 10mm wrench or socket (Fig. 5).
2. Adjust the gib screw using the included hex wrench, as in step 2 above.
3. Tighten the hex nut.
