SERVICE MANUAL
w This MB2 precision machine vice is guaranteed for quality, and workmanship. It has been
prepared for its correct operation through our established final assembly and test procedures.
Care should be taken that it is used correctly to ensure the operators and other persons safety
in the workplace.
w Each person involved in the unpacking, handling, operation and maintenance of this vice is
required to have to read this service manual. This is to ensure safety at work compliance, and
the correct understanding of the vice operation.
w The operator has to be minimum 18-years of age, it must be ensured that the operator is
capable or has to be trained on the correct vice operation by someone more senior. The
operator must be able to prove his capabilities for its handling and operation and have read
and understood this service manual and keep it available for reference.
Personal protection.-
w Security shoes (steel toecap type).
w Protecting gloves.
w Machine guards, safety glasses.
Worklace .-
w The vice must be clamped firmly to the machine table to avoid movements during a machining
operation.
w Ensure the vice jaw movements are not impeded in any way,keep the work area tidy.
Moving the vice.-
w Care should be taken when moving the vice. The operator must keep clear of the crane or
other lifting equipment used.
Unpacking the vice .-
w To proceed with unpacking the vice, a hoist should be used for lifting with the two slings
supplied, making sure the load is correctly balanced.
w The vice is wrapped in oiled paper for its protection during delivery. Ensure that when the oiled
paper is removed from its base it is immediately placed on a "cleaned" machine table and
clamped safely in position.
Cleaning and general maintenance.-
w To ensure the vice long operational life and the most favourable working conditions, it is
essential that it is cleaned very regularly, after each machining cycle of swarf or machining
sludge that can affect its correct operation.
The regular "cleaning" can be by pressure coolant gun or air gun. Together the use of a small
brush to clear the jaw movement ways can generally be effective. Cleaning by industrial rag
or paper can also usefully be done after a number of machining cycles. It must be understood
that the efficient vice operation needs clear space for clamping and unclamping. Attention:
never use chemical products which can damage the vice.
