position:
a. For 0° and 45° bevel angles, slide the shoe back and lock
the shoe by moving the bevel lever back under the body
of the jig saw.
b. For all angles between 0° and 45°, lock with bevel
leveronly.
Cutting Action—Orbital or Straight (Fig.F)
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
6
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.
