Setting the orbital action
The 4 orbital-action settings allow cutting performance and quality of cut to be adjusted to suit the material
to be cut.
The orbital-action adjustment lever is used to set the power tool to one of the 4 settings.
The lower the orbital-action setting, the finer and cleaner the cut edges will be.
The optimum setting can be determined by carrying out practical tests.
To determine the correct setting for the task to be performed, consult the information provided with the saw
blade.
