Alan,
The jaws are spring loaded. To put a hook in the vise, you lightly squeeze the rear end of the jaws to open the jaws and they close, lightly, on the hook. This is to allow you to reposition the hook, if necessary, before you lock the jaws with the lever.
The reverse is done when removing the hook.
