ORBITAL ACTION
There are four settings for orbital action of the blade, controlled by a lever switch. The effect of the settings is shown in Figure 5 below. When set on Position III the blade oscillates forward in the stroke, which is helpful when cutting wood or soft materi- als. The Position 0 setting eliminates all forward oscillation and the blade strokes
straight up and down. This is good for materials with a strong cutting resistance such as metals and where a very clean cut edge is desired.
Changes in the orbital movement can be made with the motor turned on.
