Flex SKE 2902 VV Instrucciones De Funcionamiento página 9

FOREWORD
The FLEX SKE 2902 VV is designed for cutting wood up to 30.5 cm thick, metal up to 19 mm thick and
various other materials, such as plastics, fiberglass, hard rubber, etc.
TO START AND STOP SAW
1. Make sure power circuit voltage is the same as shown on the specification plate on the saw.
Connect saw to power circuit.
2. Hold saw firmly. Squeeze trigger switch (A) Fig. 1, to start motor. Release trigger to stop motor.
VARIABLE SPEED
The saw is equipped with a variable speed control (0 to 2600 SPM). As the switch trigger is squeezed, the
speed of the saw blade increases.
The lower speeds are recommended for most metal cutting, while the higher speeds are recommended
for wood. A few practice cuts at various speeds (o n scrap material), will aid you in choosing the best speed
for obtaining the desired results on your application.
HOW TO HOLD SAW
Hold saw as shown in Fig. 2. The gear housing, intermediate plate, blade and pivoting guide shoe may be
made live if the blade cuts into live wiring within a wall.
WARNING
SELECTING THE BLADE
For best performance, longer blade life, and smoother cut, select the proper blade for the job.
When cutting metal always select a blade which will allow at least three teeth to be engaged in the
thickness of material.
INSTALLING THE BLADE
Model SKE 2902 VV with Quik-Change™ Blade Clamp
1. The reciprocating shaft must be fully extended to permit access to the Quik-Change™ blade release
collar (A) Fig. 4. If necessary, gently squeeze the trigger switch to move the reciprocating shaft to its
outermost position (as shown in Fig. 4).
WARNING
2. Pivot the guide shoe (B) Fig. 4, forward to improve access to the blade clamp.
3. To open the blade clamp: rotate and hold the blade release collar (A) Fig. 5, counterclockwise (as
viewed from the front of the saw).
4. Insert the blade into the clamp until it bottoms. Allow the release collar to rotate clockwise to lock the
blade in place (Fig. 6).
5. To remove blade: repeat steps 1 thru 3, and pull blade from blade clamp (while the release collar is
being held in the open position).
WARNING
NOTES: If the blade clamp collar resists rotation to remove a blade, work the blade up and down
while rotating the clamp (in a counterclockwise direction).
If the blade breaks leaving nothing to grasp (to pull it from the clamp), it may be necessary to use
another blade as a tool to aid in removing the broken piece (see Fig. 7). While holding the release
collar in the open position, use the tip of another blade to "hook" the broken piece and pull it from
the clamp. (A thin, fine-toothed, metal-cutting blade works best.)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK THE SAW MUST BE
HELD AS SHOWN IN FIG. 2, AND MUST HAVE THE RUBBER FRONT
HOUSING COVER PROPERLY INSTALLED AND NOT DAMAGED.
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
NEVER TOUCH BLADE IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE, AS IT MAY BE
EXTREMELY HOT.
