LED Work Light
The LED work light is located on the front of
the saw in the tool housing. It will illuminate
when the variable-speed trigger switch is
depressed. This provides additional light on
the surface of the work piece for operation in
lower-light areas (Fig. 7).
The LED work light will turn off when the vari-
able-speed trigger switch is released.
Orbital Action
This saw is equipped with an orbital control that
allows you to choose the best cutting action for
your material.
Simply turn the lever to the desired position for
the type of cut you are making.
Turn the lever to a higher setting to increase
the orbital action. Turn the lever to a lower
setting to decrease the orbital action.
There are four orbital action cutting settings
that may be chosen, according to different
types of material (Fig. 8).
Setting 0: accurate cutting in all materials
(straight and curved cuts).
Setting 1: fast cutting in metal (straight cuts only).
Setting 2: fast cutting in plastic (straight cuts only).
Setting 3: fast cutting in hard wood (straight cuts only).
NOTICE: Always make test cuts in scrap material first to determine the best setting.
NOTICE: Always select "0" when sawing splinter-sensitive material.
NOTICE: 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.
