This saw has an orbital control with three positions that allows you to choose the best
cutting action for your material.
Position 2 is for maximum orbital action (most aggressive). In general, the “2” Position
should be used when cutting soft materials.
Position 1 is for less orbital action. In general, the “1” position should be used when
cutting hard materials
Position 0 is for normal up and down action (no orbital actions). In general, the “0”
position should be used when cutting metals.
1. To inctease the orbital action, turn the knob to a higher setting.
2. To decrease the orbital action, turn the knob to a lower setting.

and place the tip of the blade above that point.
3. Rest the front edge of base assembly (shoe) on the work piece
and hold it firmly in position.
4. Push the lock-off button to the left side, then depress the trigger
switch to start the cutting action.

to the work piece.
