Producte acabatview

The Saker Multi-Function Tool consists of two primary components: a foldable level and a contour gauge. Each component is designed for specific measurement and marking tasks.

Imatge 1: The Saker Multi-Function Foldable Level and Contour Gauge Profile Tool. This image displays both the red foldable level in an extended, zig-zag configuration and the black and orange contour gauge with an opening locator.

Foldable Level Components

• Foldable Segments: Multiple interconnected segments allow the level to be folded for compact storage or extended and angled for various measurements.
• Vials: Equipped with 4 clear acrylic vials for 180-degree (horizontal), 90-degree (vertical), and 45-degree angle measurements.
• Connectors: Securely link the segments, enabling multi-angle configurations.
• Forat per penjar: Per a un emmagatzematge còmode.
• Imants: Integrated for attachment to metallic surfaces.

Imatge 2: Dimensions of the Saker Multi-Function Foldable Level. The image shows the level in its folded state, measuring 5.71 inches in length, 4.33 inches in width, and 1.97 inches in height. When fully extended, it measures 28 inches. Key components like the 180-degree, 90-degree, and 45-degree vials, hanging hole, magnet, and connector are labeled.

Contour Gauge Components

• Profile Pins: A series of fine, movable pins that conform to the shape of an object.
• Mecanisme de bloqueig: To secure the duplicated contour.
• Opening Locator: An additional feature for marking specific points or shapes.
• Construcció duradora: Made from high-quality ABS materials with metal components for strength and rust resistance.

Configuració

Foldable Level Setup

1. Desplegament: Gently unfold the level segments to the desired length or angle. The segments are designed to articulate smoothly.
2. Locking (if applicable): Some configurations may allow for locking segments in place. Ensure all connections are secure before use.

Contour Gauge Setup

1. Adjusting Pin Tightness: The tightness of the profile pins can be adjusted. Use a small tool (e.g., a screwdriver) to tighten or loosen the screws on the side of the gauge to achieve the desired resistance for the pins. This ensures the pins hold their shape effectively after duplication.

Instruccions de funcionament

Using the Foldable Level

The foldable level offers versatile measurement capabilities for various angles and surfaces.

1. Anivellació horitzontal i vertical:

   Extend the level to a straight line. Place the level on the surface to be checked. Observe the bubble in the 180-degree vial for horizontal accuracy and the 90-degree vial for vertical accuracy. The bubble should be centered between the two lines for a level or plumb surface.

   

   Imatge 4: Demonstrating horizontal and vertical leveling with the Saker Foldable Level. The image shows a user holding the level vertically against a wall (steps 1-3) and horizontally across wooden slats (steps 4-6) to ensure accurate alignment.

   

   Imatge 5: Close-up of the level vial for accurate measurement. This image emphasizes the precision of the level, showing a clear bubble centered within the vial, indicating an accurate level reading.
2. Multi-Angle Measurement:

   Bend the level at its joints to match the desired angle. The flexible design allows for measuring and transferring complex angles, such as those found on stairs or irregular corners. The 45-degree vial can be used for specific diagonal measurements.

   

   Imatge 6: Demonstrating multi-angle measurement with the Saker Foldable Level. The level is shown bent to measure an angle on a staircase, illustrating its flexibility and ability to capture two angles simultaneously, saving time.

3. Enganxament magnètic:

   For hands-free operation on metallic surfaces, utilize the integrated magnets to secure the level in place.
4. Emmagatzematge:

   Fold the level into its compact rectangular shape for easy storage and transport.

   

   Imatge 7: Multiple usage scenarios for the Saker Foldable Level. This composite image shows the level being used in various settings, including checking vertical alignment of studs, horizontal alignment of beams, and angled measurements on stairs, highlighting its versatility.

Using the Contour Gauge

The contour gauge is ideal for duplicating irregular shapes for precise cutting and fitting.

1. Duplicating a Shape:

   Press the contour gauge firmly against the object whose shape you wish to duplicate. Ensure all pins conform to the object's profile.

2. Locking the Contour:

   Once the pins have conformed to the shape, engage the locking mechanism to hold the pins in place. This prevents accidental changes to the duplicated profile.

   

   Imatge 8: Explaining the locking feature and adjustable tightness of the Saker Contour Gauge. This image shows how the pins are pressed against a surface to capture a contour and how the locking mechanism secures the shape. It also illustrates the adjustable tightness feature for the pins.

3. Transferring the Shape:

   Carefully transfer the locked contour onto the material you intend to cut (e.g., tile, laminate, wood). Use a pencil or marker to trace the duplicated shape.

4. Using the Opening Locator:

   The integrated opening locator can be used to mark specific points or to create templates for openings, such as pipe cutouts.

   

   Imatge 9: Usage scenarios for the Saker Contour Gauge. This image illustrates various professionals and DIY enthusiasts using the contour gauge for tasks such as woodworking, crafting, and architectural work, demonstrating its broad applicability.

Manteniment

• Neteja: Wipe both tools with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust, dirt, or debris. For stubborn grime, a slightly damp es pot utilitzar un drap, seguit d'un assecat complet.
• Lubrication (Contour Gauge): If the contour gauge pins become stiff, apply a small amount of dry lubricant (e.g., graphite powder) to the pins to ensure smooth movement. Avoid oil-based lubricants which can attract dust.
• Emmagatzematge: Store the tools in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Fold the level to its compact form for storage.
• Inspecció: Periodically inspect both tools for any signs of damage, wear, or loose components.

Resolució de problemes

Foldable Level

• Bubble not centered: Ensure the surface is truly level or plumb. If the tool has been dropped or subjected to impact, the vials may be damaged, affecting accuracy.
• Segments stiff or loose: Check the pivot points for debris. If excessively loose, inspect for damage to the connectors.

Indicador de contorn

• Pins not moving smoothly: Clean the pins thoroughly. If still stiff, adjust the tightness screws or apply dry lubricant.
• Pins not holding shape: Adjust the tightness screws to increase friction on the pins. Ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged.
