VARIABLE SPEED DIAL
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
dial. The blade stroke rate may be adjusted
during cutting operation by presetting the dial
on or between any one of the six numbers
(Fig. 1).

ORBIT SELECTOR
To obtain the best cutting advance in various
types of materials, your saw has a blade orbit
selector to adjust the swing of the saw blade.
When cutting into wood and plastic, as well as
other soft materials, a larger swing of the blade
is desired.
There are two orbit selector positions. The
non-orbit position (metal), move the orbit
selector lever toward the
(wood), move the selector lever toward the
(Fig. 4).
The non-orbit gives the best cutting advance
and extends blade life when cutting steel and
similar hard materials which have more
FOOTPLATE ADJUSTMENT
The footplate tilts in order to keep as much of
its surface in contact with the work surface
(Fig. 5 a)

(b)
The footplate assembly can also be locked
into the most optimal position to increase
blade life and/or to reduce blade protrusion
beyond the end of the footplate, such as when
cutting into large diameter pipe or into walls.
To adjust the footplate position, simply lift up
the footplate release lever, rotate lever

Higher speed settings are generally used for
fast cutting or when softer cutting materials
such as wood, composite materials, and
plastics. Slower speed settings are generally
used when precision is required or when
cutting harder materials. Materials typically cut
using slower speeds include sheet metal,
conduit, and pipe.
resistance to cut. For materials that have less
resistance to cut, the orbit position can be
selected for the best cutting advance. The orbit
selector can be adjusted with the motor
switched on or at a standstill.

To lock footplate, rotate lever clockwise until
you hear it click and then lower lever returning
it to its' pocket before using saw (Fig. 6).
