consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the batterypack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge
button

the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is
subject to variation based on product components, temperature
and end‑userapplication.
Cutting Action—Orbital or Straight (Fig.F)
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
6
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.

detents at 15° and 30°.
4. Once the desired bevel angle is achieved, lock the shoe
inposition:
a. For 0° and 45° bevel angles, slide the shoe back and lock
the shoe by moving the bevel lever back under the body
of the jigsaw.
b. For all angles between 0° and 45°, lock with bevel
leveronly.
