Check the Acme twin start thread for debris or damage. Clean the threads and lubricate them. If threads are damaged, professional servicing may be required.
Setup: To set up the vice, securely mount it to a sturdy workbench using appropriate bolts (not included). Ensure the mounting surface is flat and stable to prevent movement during use.

Care: Periodically clean the vice's sliding surfaces and threaded rod with a dry cloth. Apply a light coat of oil or grease to moving parts to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation. Inspect the jaws for wear and replace them if they become significantly damaged or worn to maintain optimal grip.
