Cutting Action – Orbital or Straight (Fig.H)
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 action, move the orbital action lever
8
between the four cutting positions: 0, 1, 2, and 3. Position 0
is straight cutting. Positions 1, 2, and 3 are orbital cutting. The
aggressiveness of the cut increase as the lever is adjusted from
one to three, with three being the most aggressivecut.
