This tool can be operated with an orbital or a straight line
(up and down) cutting action. The orbital cutting action
thrusts the blade forward on the cutting stroke and
greatly increases cutting speed.
To change the cutting action, just turn the cutting action
changing lever to the desired cutting action position.
Refer to the table to select the appropriate cutting action.
