OPERATION
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields.
Adjustable Pivot Shoe (Fig. 3)
The shoe can be adjusted forward or backward to six positions to take advantage of the unused portion of the blade or for special jobs requiring low blade clearance.
Fig. 3
1/4 Turn
1.To adjust the shoe, pull the shoe release lever down 1/4 turn and slide the shoe forward or backward to the desired position.
2.To lock the shoe in position, push the shoe release lever up.
3.After adjusting the shoe, slowly pull the trigger to be sure the blade always extends beyond the shoe and your work throughout the stroke.
DO NOT OPERATE SAWZALL WITHOUT SHOE. STRIKING THE SPINDLE AGAINST WORK MAY DAMAGE THE RECIPROCATING MECHANISM.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, be sure the blade always extends beyond the shoe and work throughout the stroke. Blades may shatter if they impact the work or shoe (Fig. 4).

Stroke
Impact Protection System
Select models are equipped with a unique patented gearing system that provides efficient power transmission and extended life in the most difficult cutting applications. This durable system will absorb impacts, blade lock ups, and motor stalls. These models can be used for extreme cutting applications such as large diameter pipe, thick metal, pallets, and heavy demolition and renovation work as well as for general purpose cutting.
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
1.To start the tool, grasp the handle firmly and pull the trigger.
2.To stop the tool, release the trigger. Allow the tool to come to a complete stop before removing the blade from a partial cut or laying the tool down.
Orbit Control Switch (Fig. 5)
The Orbital Super Sawzall® is equipped with an orbit control switch. The tool may be operated in straight reciprocating (non orbital) or orbital action. Straight reciprocating action should be used when a smooth cut is needed. Orbital action is recommended for fast, aggressive cutting. The optimum orbital action should be determined by the user for their specific cutting requirements.

1.For straight reciprocating action, move the orbit control switch to the straight cut symbol (1).
2.For orbital action, move the orbit control switch towards the orbital cut symbol (2).
The amount of orbital action may be adjusted by moving the orbital control switch to any position between the two symbols. For larger orbital action, move the orbit control switch closer to the orbital cut symbol (2). For smaller orbital action, move the orbit control switch closer to the straight cut symbol (1).
Orbital action may be adjusted when the tool is running.
NOTE: Orbital action will not operate if the blade is installed with the teeth facing upward.
