Straight line or orbital cutting action

 

Conventional jig saws cut with a straight

 

line action, that is, the blade moves only

 

up and down in a straight line. ,Your saw

 

also cuts in this manner but, for softer

 

materials, an orbital cutting action can be

 

selected. Soft materials, like wood and

 

plastic permit deep penetration of indivi-

 

dual saw teeth. The orbital action thrusts

 

the blade forward on the cutting stroke

 

and greatly increases cutting speed over

 

conventional jig saws. Harder materials like

 

metal should be cut using the straight line

 

cutting action or a very low orbital setting.

 

To select straight line or orbital cutting,

 

adjust the number on the saw.
