Instructions

C-Clamp
The c-clamp includes Clamp, Threaded Rod, with brass knob, and black thumb screw. The c-clamp assembly comes attached to the Atlas Vise, it is held in place by the black thumb screw on the back of the c-clamp. To remove the c-clamp, loosen the thumb screw. The c-clamp attaches to a flat surface, of suitable thickness by turning the brass knob. The stem of the Atlas Vise will slide into the hole in the c-clamp and then tighten with the black thumb screw.

Pedestal Base
The Pedestal base can be found in the bubble pack included in the box. The stem holder for the base with its black thumb screw will be in a small bag. Screw the stem holder into the blue base. The stem holder has a knurled nut attached to the bottom of the holder, to allow the tier to rotate the black thumb screw out of the way and lock it by threading it against the base.

Your vise is ready to use.
The jaws are housed inside a round body held to the main spindle with a wing nut located on one side and a set screw on the other side; these may be switched to accommodate the left handed tier. The lock handle cam, at the bottom of the body, opens in the down position and locks in the up position. Put your hook between the jaws. Using the adjusting nut, adjust the Jaw pre-load to a point where the lock handle cam can be rotated to the up position; locking the hook in place. If the cam locks while still pointed down adjust nut upwards. If the hook is not tight enough, adjust the nut downwards until the hook is held correctly when the cam handle is pointed up. The black thumb screw adjacent to the body allows the locked hook/body unit to slide up and down, bringing the hook shank into center of rotation. The black thumb screw on the main rotary body is for fully locking and unlocking ONLY. Tying/turning friction is adjusted by turning the small knurled knob at the extreme end of the vise head. The black thumb screw can also be reversed for left handed tiers. The rotary finger pin can be put into any of the four pre-drilled positions, be sure to replace the plugging set screw after moving, as the drive pin is retained by the top most set screw.
