Orbital-Action Settings
Your tool is equipped with four orbital-action
settings for optimal adaptation to the cutting
speed, cutting capacity, cutting pattern, and the
material being sawed.
The orbital action can be adjusted with the
control lever:
Setting 0 – No orbital action
Setting 1 – Small orbital action
Setting 2 – Medium orbital action
Setting 3 – Maximum orbital action
The optimal orbital action setting for the
respective application can be determined
through practical testing. The following
recommendations apply:
For a finer and cleaner cut, select a lower orbital-action setting or turn it off: setting 0.
–
For thin materials, such as sheet metal, or when sawing splinter-sensitive material, turn
–
the orbital action off: setting 0.
For hard materials, such as steel, work with low orbital action: setting 1.
–
For soft materials and when sawing in the direction of the grain, work with maximum orbital
–
action: setting 3.
NOTICE:
Always make test cuts in scrap material first to determine the best setting.
–
In order to reach full orbital action. The blade must be facing straight forward, the back of
–
the blade must be resting in the groove of the roller, and the foot must be positioned all
the way forward. Orbital action is not detectable when the saw is running freely. The saw
must be cutting in order for orbital action to occur. The cutting speed is easier to see when
cutting thicker material.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always allow the jig saw to come to a
complete stop before changing the orbital function setting.
