Using The Saw - Flex SKD 2902 VV Manual De Instrucciones

Periodically clean the blade clamp with dry compressed air. DO NOT lubricate the blade
clamp. Lubricant can attract contamination.
WARNING: Wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses while using compressed air.
DUAL BLADE MOTION
Model SKD 2902 VV has dual blade motion: you have a choice of straight reciprocating
motion, as shown in Fig. 8, or orbital motion as shown in Fig. 9. Straight reciprocating motion
should be used for all metal cutting operations, and for wood cutting applications where finish
is more important than speed. Orbital motion is used for fast cutting of wood.
To set saw for straight reciprocating motion: rotate knob (A) Fig. 8, clockwise so that the bar is
vertical (opposing arrow symbol up), as shown in Fig. 8.
To set saw for orbital motion: rotate knob (A) Fig. 9, counterclockwise so that the bar is
horizontal (oval arrow symbol up), as shown in Fig. 9.
PIVOTING GUIDE SHOE
The pivoting guide shoe (A) Fig. 10 serves as a rest while making a cut and it can be
adjusted to accommodate many types of cutting applications.
WARNING: DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE SKD 2902 VV WITH THE GUIDE SHOE REMOVED.
The SKD 2902 VV is supplied with a keyless Quik-Change
rotate lever (A) Fig. 11. releasing the pivoting guide shoe (B). Adjust to desired position and
close lever (A) Fig. 12. The keyless Quik-Change
raised lip (C) Fig. 11 at the end that prevents the guide shoe from locking in position if it is
extended out too far. After adjusting, make sure the locking lever is completely closed in the
locked position (A) Fig. 12.
NOTE: DO NOT force the locking lever closed. Adjust shoe enough to allow the lever to lock
in position without force.
BEFORE YOU START TO WORK
Select the blade best suited for the material to be cut. For greatest economy, use the shortest
blade suitable for the thickness of the material to be cut.
Be sure the material to be cut is rigid. Small work pieces should be securely clamped in a
bench vise or with clamps to the work table. As the work progresses in scroll or curved cut-out
pieces, the material may be readjusted to accommodate the movement of the saw. If the work
is large enough, it may be held only by hand across saw horses. The saw cuts freely with only
slight feed pressure. Forcing the saw will not make it cut faster.
SAWING WOOD
The SKD 2902 VV is used much the same as a hand saw in that it is moved toward the
operator during the cutting operation. However, since the blade cuts on the up-stroke instead
of the down-stroke as in the case of the hand saw, the good or finish side of the work should
face down during the cutting operation.
