Cutting Action – Orbital or Straight

(ﬁ g. 8)

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, move the orbital

action lever (h) between the four cutting positions: 0,

1, 2, and 3. Position 0 is straight cutting. Positions

1, 2, and 3 are orbital cutting. The aggressiveness of

the cut increase as the lever is adjusted from one to

three, with three being the most aggressive cut.

Dust Blower (ﬁ g. 9)

The dust blower helps clear the cutting area of

debris created from the blade.

NOTE: When cutting metal, turn the dust blower off

so cutting fluids are not blown away from the blade.

To turn the dust blower on, slide the dust blower

control (i) all the way to the top.

To turn the dust blower off, slide the dust blower

control all the way to the bottom.

Removeable Anti-Scratch Shoe

Cover (ﬁ g. 10)

The anti-scratch shoe cover (j) should be used

when cutting surfaces that scratch easily, such as

laminate, veneer or paint.

To attach anti-scratch shoe cover (j), place the front

of the aluminum shoe (g) into the front of the anti-

scratch shoe cover and lower the jig saw. The anti-

scratch shoe cover will click securely onto the rear of

aluminum shoe.

To remove anti-scratch shoe cover, grasp the anti-

scratch shoe cover from the bottom; holding onto

the two rear tabs (m) remove the anti-scratch shoe

cover.

Anti-Splinter Insert (ﬁ g. 11)

NOTE: Do not use the anti-splinter insert with the

flush cutting blade.

The anti-splinter insert (n) should be used when

trying to minimize tear-out, especially when cutting

veneer, laminate, or finished surfaces, such as paint.

The anti-splinter insert should be installed into the

anti-scratch shoe cover (j). If the no-mar cover is not

used, install anti-splinter insert into shoe (g).
