Cutting Action –
Orbital or Straight
(Fig. 5)
WARNING: 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
1. Move the cutting action lever (I) between the four cutting
positions: 0, 1, 2, and 3.
2. Position 0 is straight cutting.
3. Positions 1, 2, and 3 are orbital cutting.
The aggressiveness of the cut increases as the lever is adjusted
from one to three, with three being the most aggressive cut.
LED Light
The jig saw is equipped with a light which projects on the cutting
path.
The light will come on when the trigger switch is depressed and will
go off when the trigger switch is released.
Removable Shoe Sleeve (Fig. 6)
The non-marring shoe sleeve (E) should be used when cutting
surfaces that scratch easily, such as laminate, veneer, or paint. It
can also be used to protect the shoe surface during transportation
and storage.
To attach shoe sleeve, place
the front of the shoe (F) into
the front of the shoe sleeve
(E) and lower the jig saw as
shown in Figure 6. The shoe
sleeve will click securely
onto the rear of the shoe.
To remove shoe sleeve,
grasp the sleeve from the
bottom at the two rear tabs
and pull down and away
from the shoe.
