7. CUTTING
The cutting speed should be adjusted to match the material of the
workpiece. In general, use fastener speeds for softer materials.
The jigsaw has a pendulum action feature which enables the blade to
cut faster and more efficiently in thick and softer materials. See below
for a guide on choosing the correct setting.
1 To use the pendulum action,
rotate the pendulum action
selector anti-clockwise to a
higher setting.
2 To use standard cutting action,
rotate the pendulum action
selector clockwise to a lower
setting.
