To grip the workpiece, turn thevise knob gently clockwise until the projection reaches itstopmost position, then fasten securely. If the vise knob isforced in or pulled out while being turned clockwise, theprojection may stop at an angle. In this case, turn thevise knob back counterclockwise until the screw isreleased, before turning again gently clockwise.The maximum width of the workpiece which can besecured by the horizontal vise is 120 mm.CAUTION:• Grip the workpiece only when the projection is at thetopmost position. Failure to do so may result ininsufficient securing of the workpiece.
