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. | I |
