English term
Overbite
English
Tech/Engineering
Mechanics / Mech Engineering
1) Overbite hardened teeth provide maximum gripping power.
2) Overbite jaw allows for largest gripping surface
This is for a mini hack saw - Mini-Bügelsäge
My ideas are that this could refer to the various types of teeth of saws but an overbite could mean a lot.

Literally the same meaning as in relation to human teeth
The jaws of the tool being used goes over/around what is being gripped, i.e. a pipe if referring to a wrench. Usually used when the 'gripping gap' is larger than standard.

Largest Gripping Surface

Though it's a pipe wrench, not a hacksaw.
It would make more sense to combine the two statements and say "overbite jaw and hardened teeth for maximum gripping power".
It looks suspiciously to me as if this is a poor translation from some original foreign text (DE?).
You should be able to confirm this from the rest of your document, and if so, i''d strongly recommend trying to find your way back to the original DE text.
Good luck!
