Triton SJA 200 User Manual

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.

Operation

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

for people
