Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Kurt vise. You have just purchased one of the best machine vises in the industry. The D-Series AngLock vise has a time proven design. The outstanding accuracy of this product is second to none. Backed by a lifetime warranty, this product will last forever when used and maintained properly.
Set-up Instructions Now that you have your new Kurt Vise, it’s time to set-up and begin using it. You will see that your new vise comes with a Kurt swivel handle, chip guard and instruction manual in the shipping carton. The chip guard rests between the ways of the vise and can be trimmed to size to help keep the chips out of the screw.
If you need more clamping force you may require a larger vise. To properly clamp a part in your Kurt vise you should place the part in the center of the jaws resting on the ways of the vise. Clamping only on one side or above the movable and stationary jaws can result in jaw lift or loss of accuracy.

Proper O-Ring installation and usage Most jobs require a tight contact between the workpiece and the parallels (see above). This option offered by Kurt Manufacturing Company is ideal for that. The O-Ring installation will provide for the movement needed when working with parallels.
Maintenance Schedule It is very important to perform regularly maintenance on your Kurt vise to assure proper operation. Improper maintenance will result in poor vise performance and may void your warranty. Daily/ Weekly 1. Remove chips from surface of vise.

8. Tighten the setscrew to firmly contact the nut. Back off the setscrew ¼ turn (approx.) note: DO NOT leave the setscrew tightened firmly to the nut as this may cause improper operation. The movable jaw is designed to move slightly (pivot side to side) so maximum jaw plate contact is maintained when clamping out- of-parallel, sawed, or cast parts.
