ORBITAL ACTION
The four settings for the orbital action of the blade are controlled by a lever switch. The effect of the settings is shown in Figure 5. When set on Position III the blade oscillates forward in the stroke, which is helpful when cutting wood or soft materials. 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.
