Using your WILTON Mechanics Pro Vise is straightforward. First, find a stable surface and use the four mounting points to secure it firmly. The 360° swivel base allows you to rotate the vise to the angle you need. When clamping an object, place it between the jaws and use the spindle to close the jaws gently at first, then apply more force as required. The needle roller thrust bearing will help you easily reach the right clamping force. When using the anvil work surface, make sure the object is properly placed to avoid damage. For maintenance, keep the enclosed spindle clean and lubricated regularly to ensure smooth operation. Also, check the movable jaw and base for any signs of wear. Since this product has a Prop 65 warning about cancer and reproductive harm, take proper precautions when handling it.
