Triton Superjaws SJA 200 Instructions D'utilisation Et Consignes De Sécurité page 7

Using as an anvil
• The fixed jaw is sufficiently robust to be used as an anvil for
strip metal work
• Do not use the Moving Jaw as an anvil, as this could cause
damage
• For thicker materials we recommend the use of the optional
SJA470 Engineers' Jaws
Using as a press
• When the Lock / Release Switch
(13) is in the 'release' position,
SuperJaws can be used as a
press
• With each full stroke of the Foot
Pedal (8), the Moving Jaw (15) will
advance approximately 25mm (1")
Ripping a plank
1. When ripping a plank, stop cutting before reaching the jaws
2. Remove the workpiece and re-clamp with sufficient amount of
the cut beyond the jaws, so that you can drop in your saw to
recommence your cut
3. Before clamping, insert a spacer slightly thicker than your saw
cut, at the jaw area, to keep the cut open
Clamping square tubing
• Square tubing or similar can be
clamped diagonally into the jaws
using the V-grooves for easier,
more precise sawing
Note: Use the V-grooves in the
urethane jaws to securely hold your
material.
Sharpening chainsaws
• SuperJaws is ideal for clamping
a chainsaw or chain blade while
sharpening the teeth
Note: If sharpening a chainsaw, use
two wooden blocks, either side of the
bar, to ensure the clamping jaws are
clear of the chain, which can then be
rotated as each tooth is filed.
Outdoor use
• SuperJaws is ideal for outdoor use. However, if SuperJaws gets
wet, it is important to dry the tool to prevent corrosion. Also re-
apply any oil or grease that may have been affected by rain
Bicycles
• SuperJaws is ideal for clamping bicycles during repair
and maintenance, and will hold the bicycle securely at the
required height. However, modern bicycle frames need careful
consideration before clamping. Carbon fibre frames are very
easy to damage and should not be clamped. Steel bicycle
frames are possible to clamp, so long as the clamping is
applied carefully and slowly. Ideally, for any frame, the best
solution is to fit an old seat post to the frame and clamp the
seat post instead, to prevent the frame being damaged
Note: Clamp so the weight of the bicycle is dispersed evenly
across SuperJaws. Bicycles are considerably heavier at the back
than at the front.
ADDITIONAL USES
There are many additional uses for SuperJaws which are not
featured in this manual. Whatever the use, it is important to heed
the following:
• Always check SuperJaws is correctly assembled before use
• Do not overload SuperJaws beyond its load capacity (see
'Specification')
• Make sure the workpiece is correctly balanced
• Do not exert too much force on the workpiece while clamping
• Do not use clamping force beyond 1,000kg; only clamp to the
required force
• Do not use this product as a step or for building work platforms
