This jig saw is equipped 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 actions:
f
Move the cutting action lever (9) between the four
cutting positions: 0, 1, 2 and 3.
f
Position 0 is straight cutting.
f
Positions 1, 2, and 3 are orbital cutting.
f
The aggressiveness of the cut increases as the lever
is adjusted from one to three, with three being the
most aggressive cut.
LED LIGHT
The jig saw is equipped with a light which projects on the
cutting path.
f
The light will come on when the trigger switch is
depressed and will go off when the trigger switch is
released.
