Cutting-Orbital or Straight (Pendulum switch)(7)

This jig saw is equipped with four cutting actions, one straight and three orbital.
Orbital action has a more aggressive blade motion and is designed for cutting in
soft materials like wood or plastic. Orbital action provides faster cut, but with a
rougher 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, moves the orbital switch knob
between the four cutting positions: 0, I, II, and III. Position 0
is the straight cutting. Positions I, II and III are orbital cutting.
The aggressiveness of the cut increase as the knob is moved
from one to three, with three being the most aggressive cut.
