4. Rotate it 180 degrees and re-insert it into the
tracks.
• Whenever clamping objects with the moving
jaw reversed, ensure the workpiece sits down
onto the sliding jaw, and is parallel to it. 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 to prevent super
jaws from tipping over.
Clamping workpieces up to 956mm can
be achieved by removing the jaw facings
(see page 8).
Using the extension piece for work pieces over
109cm (43”) to a max material width of 141cm
(55”)
• Pull the sliding jaw right off the body.
• Engage the the small square bar of the
extension piece into the sliding jaw
• The clamp that holds the two pieces together
need to be tightened, using a hex head
screwdriver. (not supplied)
• Slide the extension piece onto the body giving
a larger clamp distance.
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. You could
damage it.
USING AS A PRESS
When the lock / release
switch (4) is in the release position super jaws
can be used as a press.
With each full stroke of the foot pedal, the
moving jaw will advance about 25mm.
GENERAL OPERATING ADVICE
When working along the line of the jaws, place
your foot on the foot plates (15) to prevent super
jaws from moving.
Ripping a plank
1. When ripping a plank,
stop your cut 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.
