SMART SELECT DIAL (FIGURES D1, D2 & E)
The Smart Select Dial is used to control orbit, straight cut guide and handle positions of
the saw.
The saw has two settings:
1.) Straight cutting in wood (

In this cutting mode, the straight cutting
guide is projected under the shoe and rides
in the sawʼs cutting path to keep the saw
straight.

guide before each use.
2.) Curved or straight cutting in all other
materials (wood, metal, pvc, etc. (

))
In this mode, the guide is retracted and the
blade orbital action is off.
