ORBITAL ACTION
ORBIT CONTROL LEVER (Fig. 11)
This saw has an orbital control
that allows you to choose the best
cuttingaction for your material.
Simplyturn the leverto the position
you need for the type of cut you
are making.
To increase orbit action,turn the
lever to a higher setting.To decrease
orbital action turn the lever to a lower setting.
When minimal splintering desired, we recommend using the "Smooth" position.
1. SCROLLING in all Materials allows manual 360° rotation of the blade using the
scrollingknob.
2. SMOOTH for cutting mildsteel/ soft materials / all materials with normal up and down
blade motionwith minimal splintering.
3. LOW for cutting most metal.
4. MEDIUM for cutting plastics,and hardwoods.
5. FAST for maximum orbital action and faster cuttingin plywood and softwoods.
Choose the scrolling or smooth cut positions for normal up and down motion
(see Position 1 and 2).
Choose the low or medium cut positions for orbital action for cutting metal, plastic, and
hardwoods (see Position 3 and 4).
Choose the fast cut position for maximum orbital action that will provide faster, more
aggressive cutting in softer materials (see Position 5.

NOTE: In order to reach full orbitalaction, the blade MUST BE FACING STRAIGHT
FORWARD and the back of the blade must rest in the grooveof the guide roller.The foot
must be all the way in the forward position.Orbital action is notobservable when the saw
isfree-running. The saw mustbe cuttingfor orbital actionto occur.The speed of cut is
easier to see in thickermaterials.
