Vise

The vise on the Model G9743 has a positive lock- ing feature that improves productivity by open- ing the vise jaws just enough to slide material through.

To use the positive lock:

1.Raise the headstock above the workpiece and lock in place.

2.Place the vise handle in the half open posi- tion (45°). See Figure 12.

3.Place the workpiece between the jaws and turn the handwheel until the rear jaw makes contact with the workpiece.

4.Push the positive lock handle down to the lock position (0°). As you do this you will feel the handle tighten against the workpiece (see Figure 12).

5.To loosen the workpiece, lift the vise handle to the fully open position (90°).

6.Slide the stock to the workstop for your next cut. The vise position will not change as long as you don't change the position of the vise jaws with the handwheel.
