Usage Guide – How to Use the Hand-Held Vise

  1. Open the Jaws: Turn the ergonomic knob to open the vise jaws to the desired width.
  2. Insert Your Part: Place your model part between the jaws. For larger parts, use the stainless steel dowel bars with silicone tubing. For tiny parts, use the cross slots directly.
  3. Secure the Part: Tighten the knob to hold your part securely. The anti-slip lining protects the surface from scratches.
  4. Adjust the Angle: Rotate the vise 360° or tilt 45° left and right to position your work at the optimal angle for painting.
  5. Lock at 90° (Optional): Use the ball lock mechanism to tilt the fixture up to 90° for painting the bottom section of your model.
  6. Hold and Paint: Grip the ergonomic hand grip and paint your part with complete control – no dead zones.
  7. Set Down Safely: When not in use, place the vise on its pedestal with anti-slip pads for stable, secure storage.

Pro Tip: For the most precise work on tiny parts, use the cross slots (0.35mm deep × 0.7mm wide). The triangular cross-section holds cylindrical or oddly shaped parts with a tiny "tail" for maximum control.
