Cutting Action – Orbital or Straight
(Fig. 7)
This jig saw is equipped
FIG. 7
H
with four cutting actions,
three orbital and one
straight. Orbital action has
a more aggressive blade
motion and is designed for
cutting in soft materials like
wood or plastic. Orbital
action provides a faster
cut, but with a less smooth
cut across the material. In orbital action, the blade moves forward
during the cutting stroke in addition to the up and down motion.
NOTE:
Metal or hardwoods should never be cut in orbital action.
To adjust the cutting action, move the cutting action lever (H) between
the four cutting positions: 0, 1, 2, and 3. Position 0 is straight cutting.
Positions 1, 2, and 3 are orbital cutting. The aggressiveness of the cut
increase as the lever is adjusted from one to three, with three being
the most aggressive cut.
Dust Blower (Fig. 8)
The dust blower helps clear the cutting area of debris

created from the blade.
NOTE:
When cutting metal, turn the dust blower off so
cutting fl uids are not blown away from the blade.
To turn the dust blower on,
slide the dust blower control (I) all the
way to the top.
To turn the dust blower off,
slide the dust blower control all the
way to the bottom.
Removeable No-Mar Shoe Cover (Fig. 9)
The no-mar shoe cover (J) should

be used when cutting surfaces that
scratch easily, such as laminate,
veneer, or paint.
To attach no-mar shoe cover, place
the front of the aluminum shoe (G)
into the front of the no-mar shoe
cover (J) and lower the jig saw.
The no-mar shoe will click securely
onto the rear of aluminum shoe.
To remove no-mar shoe cover,
grasp the no-mar shoe cover from
the bottom; holding onto the two rear tabs (M) remove the no-mar
shoe cover.
Anti-Splinter Insert (Fig. 10)
NOTE:
Do not use the anti-splinter

insert with the flush cutting blade.
The anti-splinter insert (N) should be
used when trying to minimize tear-
out, especially when cutting veneer,
laminate, or finished surfaces, such
as paint. The anti-splinter insert
should be installed into the no-mar
shoe cover (J). If the no-mar cover
is not used, install anti-splinter insert
into shoe (G).
