Notes:
• If clamping on one side of the jaws only, as shown in
fig 16, reduce the maximum clamping pressure used
to avoid uneven clamping. Alternatively use another
workpiece of the same material and size on the other
side to prevent the jaw mechanism being warped by
uneven pressure
• If necessary, to prevent damage to the surface of the
workpiece, use a softer material between the jaw pads
and workpiece, for example wood or a layered fabric
material
• If the workpiece has sharp edges, you will need to
protect the jaw pads, or remove them when clamping
• If you are using SuperJaws indoors, on flooring that
could be marked by the combined weight of the
SuperJaws and the workpiece, use additional pieces
of wood or another material between the feet and the
floor, to spread the weight and prevent marking
• The jaw pads have vertical and horizontal grooves that
allow for square tube and angled workpieces to be
clamped more securely, as shown in Fig 17a and Fig
17b. Fig 17b shows square tube securely clamped in
the ideal position for sawing into the corner first
• If the jaw pads become worn, replacement pads are
available from your Triton stockist
• The Moving Jaw (2) can be fully removed and re-fitted
in reverse, as shown in Fig 18, to allow for clamping
level workpieces of 450-1000mm in size.
Do not try to clamp large, uneven workpieces that may
force the moving jaw to bend/warp as it clamps.
The workpiece should sit level on the top surface
between the jaws, as shown in Fig 18b
• When clamping very long or large workpieces that may
overbalance SuperJaws, note that the two front feet
have individual holes that can be used to secure the
feet against a surface with screws or pegs to increase
stability, as shown in
Fig 19
Ripping a Plank
• When ripping a plank, stop the cut before reaching the
jaws
• 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 the cut
• Before clamping, insert a spacer which is slightly
thicker than your saw cut, at the jaw area, to keep the
cut open, as indicated in Fig 20b
