PLUNGE CUTS
The SKD 2902 VV can be used for plunge cutting wood, plywood, wallboard, and plastic
materials. DO NOT attempt to plunge cut metal.
Clearly mark line of cut on the work. Set saw for orbital motion to get the best plunge cut per-
formance. Grasp front housing with one hand and rear handle with the other hand. To start
cut, rest saw on shoe bracket, align blade with the marked line of cut, (blade NOT touching
work), as shown in Fig. 13. Start saw. Using bracket as a pivot point, roll saw forward by
raising rear handle, as shown in Fig. 14. When blade has cut through the work, continue
raising the rear handle until saw is perpendicular to the work surface. Keep saw in this position
and move blade along line of cut.
SAWING METAL
When cutting angle, H-beam, I-beam, channel, etc., start the cut on the surface where the
greatest number of teeth will contact the work. To make a pocket cut, drill a starting hole first.
To extend blade life, cutting oil can be applied to the work surface along the line of the cut.
MAINTENANCE
KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry, compressed air. All plastic parts should be
cleaned with soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could
possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
WARNING: Wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses while using compressed air.
FAILURE TO START
Should your tool fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are making
good contact in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers in the line.
