Straight line or orbital cutting action
Conventional jig saws cut with
a straight
line action, that is, the blade moves only
up and down in
a straight line. ,Your saw
also cuts in this manner but, for softer
materials, an orbital cutting action can be
selected. Soft materials, like wood and
plastic permit deep penetration of indivi-
dual saw teeth. The orbital action thrusts
the blade forward
on the cutting stroke
and greatly increases cutting speed over
conventional
jig saws. Harder materials like
metal should be cut using the straight line
cutting action or
a very low orbital setting.
To select straight line or orbital cutting,
adjust the number on the saw.
