OPERATION
orbital action selector
See Figure 4.
Use the orbital action selector to select either a linear stroke or orbital cutting action. A linear stroke is best for making smooth cuts while orbital action is best for making a faster cut.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the tool, always allow motor to come to a complete stop before using the orbital action selector.
NOTE: Do not use the orbital action setting when using a metal cutting blade.
