Safety Warnings and Precautions

WARNING: When using product, basic safety precautions should always be followed to

reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.

Read all instructions before using this product!

1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.

2. Check for damaged parts. Before using any product, any part that appears damaged should

be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.

Check for any broken or damaged parts and any other conditions that may affect its operation.

Replace or repair damaged or worn parts immediately.

3. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.

Use of any other parts will void the warranty.

4. Always check hardware and assembled parts after assembling. All connections should be

tight and hardware tightened.

5. Keep children away. Children must never play with the Vacuum Vise.

6. Store idle equipment. When not in use always lock up the Vise and keep it out of the reach of

children.

7. Dress properly. Gloves are recommended when using the Vise. Wear restrictive hair covering

to contain long hair.

8. Use eye protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles when using this

product.

9. Maintain products with care. Keep the Vise in a dry location.

10. Use the right Vise for the job. There are certain applications for which this Vise was

designed. Do not modify this Vise and do not use this Vise for a purpose for which it

was not intended.

11. If struck by a striking tool, the jaws may chip, and possibly result in eye or bodily injury.

Always check the Vise before using it. Always replace the jaws if they are damaged.

12. Do not use the Vise if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on

prescriptions to determine if your judgement or reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If

there is any doubt, do not assemble or use the Vise.

13. Do not rely only on the vacuum to hold the Vise in place-see additional warning in the

Assembly/Operation section. Make certain the Vise is used on a smooth clean surface free

of dust and debris to allow for adequate suction and a solid seal. Never lean on or apply added

weight to the vise. Always be aware of possible failure of the vacuum seal holding the vise in

place.

WARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot

cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by

the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into

this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

Assembly/ Operation

Your Wide Opening Vacuum Vise will require mounting to the work surface. It is important that you

read the entire manual to become familiar with the product BEFORE you use the Wide Opening

(such as C-Clamps-not included) if conditions warrant.
