Ray, I was a little disappointed. I really expected that the tip would be not to hold the piece with your fingers in the jaws when tightening. Seriously it is a good read.

Hi All Vices Safety Tips Always be sure to wear eye protection when hammering an object being held by a vice. Worn jaw inserts and bent sliding cross pin handles should be replaced. Never use an extension cheater handle or hammer on the handle of a vice for extra clamping pressure. If there is any possibility of marring the work, use jaw liners with a vice. Discard any vice that shows even the slightest hairline fracture. Use bolts in all the holes in the base of the vice and use lock washers under the nuts. When work is held in the vice for sawing, be sure to saw as close to the jaws as possible. When clamping long work pieces in a vice, always make sure the end of the work is properly supported. Different types of Vices Bench Vice Tool that mounts on a workbench or table to hold work pieces securely in place between two flat jaws. Generally used in light-duty applications. Available in both stationary and swivel models to hold work at various angles and positions. A threaded spindle opens and closes the jaws of the vice to hold and release work piece. Generally has jaws ranging in length from 3" to 8". Jaw opening ranges from 4" to 12" in different models. Woodworking Vice Has jaws made of wooden pads to hold work piece securely in place without marring surface of work piece. Generally mounted to the side of a workbench Some woodworking vices have a fast-acting screw arrangement for the rapid positioning of the movable jaw prior to clamping. Smaller vices have continuous screws and are light and easy to clamp on a workbench or sawhorse. Utility Vice Similar to a bench vice. Generally has jaws ranging in length from 3" to 6". Better models feature swivel bases so the vice may be turned to the best angle for each particular job. Some utility vices either have cast-in pipe jaws or permit special curved-face pipe jaws to be inserted between the regular jaws to add versatility Angle Vice Contains marked adjustments to permit clamping at different angles. Can also be adjusted to a flat position and used as a regular vice. Can be locked into any position with a thumb screw, and bolts can be tightened for permanent positioning. Clamp Vice Is a combination fixed and portable vice, featuring a bottom clamp for easy attachment to workbenches, sawhorses or tables. The best choice for portable use. Drill Press Vice Great for holding work piece still when drilling, tapping and reaming on a drill press. Most models have grooves machined on both sides for mounting to machine table. Used for 90-degree machining of side bodies Vacuum Vice Light-duty vice that has a lever-operated suction cup on the bottom to secure to tabletop or other work surface. Pipe Vice This Has a vee shaped jaws to hold the outside diameter of the pipe securely while threading or cutting off to length. These can also come in different sorts of chains which wrap around the pipe and is locked in by a turning adjusting screw.
