This is a very easy machine to use and could be used at home or by anyone with a logical understanding.
It is a simple machine, so far one of the simplest tools, but still has it necessary safety precautions
The name Bench Vice here signifies it should be held on the bench, which goes without saying, a strong bench or table.
If the bench is not firm, the vice won't be steady and may eventually cause an accident
The user should also note, when tightening the handle to not place his fingers in the grip, it could injure the fingers or lead to some other accident.
