Operation
BASIC OPERATION
Clamping
1. Check that the Moving Jaw Locking Tab (3) is set to the
‘horizontal’ position, and push the Moving Jaw (15) back until
your workpiece fits between the jaws
2. Place the workpiece against the Fixed Jaw (14) and slide the
moving jaw forward until it touches the workpiece
Note: The jaw can also be advanced forward by pressing the Foot
Pedal (8) repeatedly.
3. Slide the Lock / Release Switch (13) down to the ‘lock’ position
Note: If preferred the switch can be
locked after the work is clamped.
4. Apply downward pressure on
the Foot Pedal (8) until sufficient
clamping force has been applied
Note: For extra force you may stand
on the Foot Pedal (maximum 100kg),
but do not jump on it, as you could
damage the unit.
Releasing
1. Slide the Lock / Release Switch (13) up to the ‘release’ position
2. Push on the Foot Pedal (8) then allow it to return up and release
the workpiece
Note: Ensure you are supporting the workpiece to prevent it from
falling once the jaw is released.
Note: If you have clamped the object very tightly, you may need to
exert more pressure on the Foot Pedal before it will release.
OPERATION
3. Slide the Moving Jaw (15) back,
and remove your workpiece
ADVANCED OPERATION
Clamping on one side of the jaw
• Some large or awkward
workpieces can only be clamped
on one side of the jaws
Note: Always fit a spacer (the same thickness as your workpiece)
to the other side of the jaws, to prevent the Moving Jaw (15) from
skewing.
Clamping large objects (460mm to 956mm)
• The Moving Jaw (15) can be reversed to accommodate
workpieces measuring between 460mm and 956mm:
1. Set the Lock / Release Switch (13) to the ‘release’ position, and
ensure that the Foot Pedal (8) is released
2. Check the Moving Jaw Locking Tab (3) is in the horizontal
position
3. Slide the Moving Jaw fully from its tracks
4. Rotate the Moving Jaw by 180°, and re-insert it into the tracks
Notes:
• When clamping objects with the Moving Jaw (15) reversed,
ensure the workpiece sits down onto, and is parallel to, the
sliding jaw. Avoid clamping workpieces at the top of the jaws
(with a gap between the workpiece and the base of the Moving
Jaw) as excessive pedal pressure could damage the unit
• When clamping large or heavy materials, provide outboard
support (such as a MSA200 Triton Multi-Stand) to prevent
SuperJaws from tipping over
