Vise and Tong Adjustment 
Release the cam lock on the tong and vise by depressing the cam lever and moving the pawl 
to the unlocked position (see figure). Slide the chain through the tong or vise as needed to 
latch the chain screw nut into the jaw. Move the pawl lever to the locked position and 
release the cam lever. Check that the cam lever is latched. Tighten the chain screw nut on 
the vise until hand tight. Tighten the chain screw nut on the tong until it is hand tight and 
then loosen the chain screw nut on the tong 1/2 turn to provide proper ratcheting.
