How do I maintain the vice?

Keep it clean, lubricate the screw and sliding parts periodically with light oil, and wipe down surfaces after use to prevent rust.

Troubleshooting

Vice jaws do not close fully.

Check for obstructions between the jaws or in the screw mechanism. Ensure the screw is clean and lightly lubricated. If damage is suspected, contact the manufacturer.

Swivel base is stiff or difficult to turn.

Clean any debris from the swivel mechanism. Apply a light lubricant to the contact surfaces of the swivel base. Ensure the locking mechanism is fully disengaged before turning.

Workpiece slips when clamped.

Ensure jaws are clean and free of oil or grease. Tighten the vice firmly. For very smooth materials, consider adding jaw liners (not included) made of rubber or wood.

Rust spots on the vice.

Lightly sand the rusted areas with fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool. Clean the area and apply a light coat of oil to prevent future rusting.
