Read and understand the entire owner's manual before attempting installation or operation.
Warnings
1. Keep hands clear of jaws.
2. Make sure vise is properly secured to hitch receiver. If using accessory bench receiver, vise must be properly
secured within receiver, and receiver bolted to bench with appropriate fasteners (not included).
3. Do not use the vise as a step; it may cause an individual to slip and
fall. This caution is also inscribed in the anvil of the vise – see
Figure 1.
4. Keep ground or floor around the vise uncluttered and free of scrap
material, oil and grease. Wear non-slip footwear.
5. Do not place combustible materials or pressurized containers in
vise.
6. Do not force the tool. Do not use a hammer against the handle, or
use additional leverage such as cheater bars or pipe extensions, to
tighten the screw handle. For heavier jobs, use a larger vise.
7. Vehicle safety brake must be engaged before operating vise.
8. Do not drive vehicle with material in the vise.
9. Use caution when backing a vehicle with the vise installed.
10. Make sure vise handle is locked and hitch pin is properly engaged
before driving vehicle.
11. Read and understand all warnings posted on the vise and in this manual. Failure to comply with all of these
warnings may cause serious injury.
12. Do not use this vise for other than its intended use.
13. Replace warning labels if they become obscured or removed.
14. Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or face shield when using striking or power tools with this vise.
(Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.) Wear hearing protection
when needed.
15. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Confine long hair. Keep clothing, hair and gloves away from moving
parts.
16. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contain
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead based paint.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as face or dust
masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
17. Always inspect vise before use. Check for misalignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. If damage is found, repair the vise
immediately or replace it.
18. Have tool serviced only by qualified personnel, using authorized replacement parts.
