Crushing and Marring. Overtightening or using incorrect or dirty jaws can cause damage to your workpiece. Before clamping anything in this vise, assure that the jaws are clean. If the workpiece is softer than steel, use soft jaws or shims of softer material to prevent damage to the workpiece.
Hammering. Use caution when hammering anything in or on this vise. Preferably use the ground anvil on top of the Vise as a hammering surface. Do not hammer on the outer, movable vise jaw, as this can damage the screw. Use only light hammers on relatively soft material. For heavier hammering use an anvil designed for the purpose.
Slipping. Periodically check to be sure the workpiece is tight in the Vise. Twisting, bending, hammering and sawing on a workpiece can cause it to become loose in the vise, potentially creating a hazard.
