Installation & Assembly Guide
Now that you have your new Kurt 3800-Series vise, it's time to set-up
and begin using it. You will see that your new vise comes with a Kurt
swivel handle, two chip guards (short & long)supplied in the shipping
carton. The chip guard rests between the ways of the vise and can
be trimmed to size to help keep chips out of the screw. The handle is
specifically designed to provide maximum torque to your vise. Your
vise should be mounted to a clean flat surface. The surface and the
vise must be free of any chips, dirt or debris of any kind. The mounting
surface can be honed if necessary. Clean the bottom of the vise with
solvent or other cleaner if needed.
To minimize vise bed deflection, clamp your Kurt vise to your machine
table, pallet, or sub-plate using the built-in clamping slots provided. To
access the through holes, simply pick the edge of the protective cap
up and expose the counter bored hole. Replace the cap after you have
mounted the vise to keep debris out of the holes. If you are mounting
the vise on it's side or back to back, other clamping methods may be
required.
