(fIGuRe e)
cAuTIoN:
Check that the tool is not locked on before
connecting it to a power supply. If the trigger switch is locked
on when the tool is connected to the power supply, it will
start immediately. Damage to your tool or personal injury
may result.
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 cutting action lever (9) between the four cutting
positions: 0, 1, 2, and 3.
