How do you lock the jaws at a 45 degree angle or any other?
1737691
Swivel the jaws to wherever you want and when you tighten jaws on part it locks them in that position.

You have to loosen the jaws to rotate. Once the jaws are tightened around an object, it should lock. My husband removed all of the grease and replaced it with a teflon spray lubricant. He really likes it.

There are 2 screws on the back that can be tightened to lock the rotation at a desired angle. Or, leave them loose to have it rotate freely.
1737694
When you loosen the main jaws, they are then able to rotate. There is a little marking band for accurate angle settings. I personally wish there was a way to loosen the jaws without it rotating. Gets a little tricky with heavier items.

turn and set to the angle you want then tighten the handle down on what ever is in the vise when its tight it will stay at the angle you tighten to.

Tighten it down. It spins when it's loose, but will stay at any angle you set once it's clamped tightly

The jaws will lock at an angle once you start putting pressure against the jaws, either on themselves or whatever piece you are working on. The vertical rotation of the jaws is fairly smooth until you put pressure on the jaws. If working at any angle I move the jaws to that angle first, then insert whatever i'm working on and hold it there with one hand and tighten the jaws with the other hand.

There are small allen head set-screws on either side of the camera piece which lock the angle. You have to loosen then to move it and then tighten to lock it back.

I own one of these. There are two bearings within this jib pivoting points.. bolts, screws bearings (two) and a screw. There is a piece of metal between the pivoting point. (Like a slice of pie) to be able to lock the jib into whatever position you want. Hopefully this answers the question?

Pull the pointed blade out where it's at a 45 degree angle, place the pointed tip on top of the can next to the rim and you'll notice that the slot under the pointed blade fits right around the rim. From there press the point down in a clockwise motion into the top of the can. Once you've penetrated it and brought the point back up to the starting position, rotate the can counter clockwise, or pull the opener back just enough to make another cut in the same fashion. Continue to do that around the rim until the can is opened...be careful (!) the lid on the can will be extra shop using this type of device. Hope this helps, wish I could attach pictures.

Set to 0-0-0-0. Turn shackle counter clockwise 180 degree and push it in. Set your combo and then pull up to release the shackle.

Push the stem FIRMLY into the plastic receiving area on bottom side of blade and turn to the right to lock into place. To 'remove' pull back on the 'thumb'release and turn back to the left.

Yes, there is a set screw to lock the jaws of you wish. Mesurements are in inches or millimeters, which ever you select! This calipet is just like your high dollar calipers, but at a fraction of the cost! I really like my calipet, and would buy again!

Clean the jaws. Treat them with WD40. Set the rivet then hold the riveter with the nozzle vertical to drop the pull shank into the canister. Mine works perfect.

Hi Janet......all you have to do is push the orange circle up towards the blades and that should do it. Then you juts push the circle towards the handles to lock.

You can go 180 degrees if you like however the position of the limiter has to be inverted which I had to do it for my RV. Great stuff! Be aware all keys that are alike will open this lock!!!! I purchased 4 of them and all the keys open all of them.

John Clark is correct. Loosen the nuts, and raising or lowering them in the bracket will change the angle. Range is probably from 45 degrees to 85 degrees.

It's easy to move it to the position you want, then lock it in. The supplied Allen (hex) wrench does the trick for loosening/tightening all swivel points.

Easiest way that I've found to do it is: hold upside-down with a hand on each handle -- keeping your thumbs free. Push the tabs up with your thumbs and rotate the ring counter-clockwise until it stops and the 16 blades appear. Then push tabs down to lock in place. Hope this helps.

You adjust it from the back with a metal latch it has several notches to control the angle.

The jaws do not swivel. There's a great amount of clamping force provided but I wouldn't work on something that extends too far from the clamps. I think there is an attachment that acts as like an extended third leg.

Yes. There are two ways to do it, either by the jaws or the contacts on the side. Just make sure you open the jaws if using the contact points on the side.

Hi Patricia, unfortunately no, the tilt is limited to 45 degrees not 90 so its only half way there! Not too many applications that need 90 degrees, so Ill take a guess and say this for a dental practice maybe? If so, you should check out the ICW mounts, they are expensive but made for that application specifically. Cheers! Allan ~ InstallerParts
