6. Adjusting the Orbital Action

a) This tool is equipped with orbital action, which moves the blade from front to back as well as
up and down. This feature allows you to maximize the cutting efficiency in the material being 
cut – Fig 8 & 9.

b) Use the following chart to help determine the appropriate orbital setting for your application.

This chart is intended as a guideline only and test cuts in scrap material should be made first to 
determine the appropriate setting.
