ORBITAL CONTROL KNOB
This reciprocating saw has two cutting actions.
The conventional reciprocating action produces
a smoother cut with less splintering. The orbital
reciprocating action is more aggressive and
produces rougher cuts.
To operate the saw in conventional cutting
mode, rotate the orbital control knob (1) counter
clockwise (Fig. 3). To operate the saw in orbital
cutting mode, rotate the orbital control knob
clockwise (2).
WARNING: Always remove the plug
from the power source when changing the
orbital control knob. Changing the orbital
control knob with the saw operating may
cause serious personal injury and damage
the saw.
VARIABLE SPEED TRIGGER SWITCH
The variable speed trigger switch controls both
the ON/OFF function and the speed of the tool.
1. To turn the saw ON, squeeze the switch
trigger (1) slightly (Fig. 4).
NOTE: The saw will start at its slowest
speed.
2. To increase the speed of the saw, squeeze
the switch trigger harder.
NOTE: When the switch trigger is
squeezed fully, the saw will run at its
maximum speed.
3. To turn the saw OFF, release the switch
trigger.
