2. Stroke Mode
This power tool features a straight mode in which the
blade moves back and forth, and an orbital mode in
which the blade moves back and forth while moving
up and down.
For soft materials such as wood, orbital mode
ensures smooth cutting operation while improving the
discharge of sawdust and the interlock with materials.
Use the change lever to select the ideal mode for the
task at hand. (Fig. 18)
The ideal mode depends on factors such as the
hardness of the material to be cut and the level of
fi nish required. Use Table 5 as a guideline when
making your choice.
