INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a Kurt HD690 vise. You have just purchased one of the best machine vises in the industry. The outstanding accuracy of this product is second to none. Backed by a lifetime warranty against workmanship and material defects, this product is built to last 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 and chip guard in the shipping carton (instruction manual available online at www.kurtworkholding.com).
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.
