Setting up / Operation
SuperJaws is an incredibly versatile system with
an almost unlimited number of uses. The following
information only represents a small number of examples of
how it can be used.
Basic Operation
Clamping
1. Place the workpiece against the Fixed Jaw Pad (3).
2. Slide the Moving Jaw (2) up against the workpiece as
shown by the top arrow in Fig 14. The moving jaw can
be moved by hand or by using the Foot Pedal (11)
3. Apply clamping force on the workpiece by sliding down
the Lock/Unlock Switch (6) as indicated by the middle
arrow in Fig 14
4. Operate the foot pedal by repeatedly pressing
down with your foot until the workpiece is clamped
sufficiently, see bottom arrow in Fig 14. For some
workpieces you may want to clamp loosely initially,
to allow adjustment of the position of the workpiece,
before clamping completely. Typically you might use a
spirit level to check the position of a workpiece before
clamping
Warning: Do not exceed 100kg force when operating the
foot pedal as the foot pedal mechanism can be damaged.
Always operate the foot pedal in a precise, controlled
manner.
OPERATION
Releasing
1. Slide up the Lock/Unlock Switch (6) as shown by the
middle arrow in Fig 15
2. Apply pressure to the Foot Pedal (11) with the same
force as was used to initially clamp the workpiece,
whilst also supporting the workpiece until a click is
heard (see bottom arrow in Fig 15)
3. Once the click is heard, apply pressure to the foot pedal
a little more, then release. The clamping system is now
unlocked
4. Slide the Moving Jaw (2) away from the workpiece, as
indicated by the top arrow in Fig 15
4. Press the Foot Pedal Lock (10) so the Foot Pedal (11)
can be lowered, as show in Fig 10. The foot pedal
secures the two front legs, so should always be lowered
after the front legs
5. Release the foot locking lever and pivot the Rear
Stability Foot (14) so it is above the Rear Leg (15) when
folded down, as shown in Fig 11. When it clicks into
the stored position, tighten with the rear stability foot
locking lever
6. Loosen the Rear Leg Lock Lever (13) so the Rear Leg
(15) can be lowered, then slide into the securing hole,
as indicated in Fig 11
7. Tighten the Rear Leg Lock Lever (13)
The SuperJaws is now ready to be transported or stored.
The folded rear leg can be used as a handle when carried
horizontally. as shown in Fig 12, and the Rear Carry Handle
(16) can be used when carried vertically, as shown in Fig
13. When carried horizontally the Rear Carry Handle (16)
can be angled to secure the Moving Jaw (2) although
the normal carrying angle, as shown in Fig 12, would
prevent the moving jaw from moving when transported.
SuperJaws can be stored in either orientation
