Triton SuperJaws SJA100E Instrucciones De Uso Y Seguridad página 8

Clamping square tubing
• Square tubing or similar can be clamped diagonally into the jaws using the V-grooves for
easier, more precise sawing (Image AH)
Note: Use the V-grooves in the urethane jaws to securely hold your material.
Sharpening chainsaws
• SuperJaws is ideal for clamping a chainsaw or chain blade while sharpening the teeth
(Image AI)
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
Accessories
Engineers Jaws SJAEJ
• The bolt-on jaws are manufactured from extremely strong ductile cast iron, and are
specially shaped to increase grip when clamping pipe or round sections up to 50mm
in diameter. They also have an integral anvil for hammering or bending of heavy metal
sections (Image AJ)
Log Jaws SJALJ
• Suitable for gripping logs or poles, these jaws also bolt onto the standard steel jaws and are
formed from steel plate, and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance (Image AK)
Note: Logs or poles up to 175mm in diameter are gripped firmly for chain sawing, drilling,
rebating etc.
Note: Check with your Triton stockist for additional accessories for your SuperJaws. Spare
parts for your SuperJaws can be obtained from toolsparesonline.com.

Maintenance
• Basic maintenance of this product should ensure a long working life
• Any damage to SuperJaws should be repaired and carefully inspected before use by
qualified repair personnel
• Servicing should be carried out using only original Triton replacement parts
• Triton Tools will not be responsible for any damage or injury caused by unauthorised repair
or mishandling of the machine
Please note:
• Depending on the type of use, it is quite likely this product will receive scratches and marks
that will remove paint and result in corrosion over time. Check for corrosion and treat if
necessary. Some disassembly may be required to check thoroughly, such as the underside
of the moving jaw. Always dry SuperJaws if it gets wet, particularly on any exposed metal
surfaces
• Lubricant or grease may be required from time to time, but always apply it in moderation
and never apply lubricant if it will affect the way the product operates. Any mechanism
should only be lubricated with a light spray lubricant which cannot affect the way it
operates
WARNING: If SuperJaws becomes damaged or corroded, and requires major repair, such
as welding, you can no longer rely on the given figures for clamping force or load capacity.
Under these circumstances, SuperJaws should be replaced immediately, as this level of repair
will void the guarantee
Removing the urethane jaw faces
• The jaw facings can be removed to achieve a greater clamping range, or for replacement if
worn or damaged, or when fitting the optional jaws
Note: Replacement urethane jaw pads are available from your Triton stockist or from www.
toolsparesonline.com.
1. The Fixed Jaw Urethane Face (1) is removed by carefully prying it off the Fixed Jaw (13)
using a broad screwdriver or similar (Image AL)
2. To remove the Moving Jaw Urethane Faces (2), push the backing face to the right (when
viewed from the front of SuperJaws), in order to disengage the connection pins. The
backing face can then be removed, allowing the front to be pulled off the Moving Jaw (14)
(Image AM) (Image AN)
• The pawl carrier pivot pin may occasionally require a small amount of spray lubricant, as
shown, if it doesn't pivot smoothly (Image AO)
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children
Disposal
Always adhere to national regulations when disposing of tools that are no longer functional and
are not viable for repair
• Do not dispose of tools with household waste
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct way to dispose of
tools
