FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool.
Selecting the cutting action (Fig. 1)
This tool can be operated with an orbital or a straight line (up and down) cutting action. The orbital cutting action
thrusts the blade forward on the cutting stroke and greatly increases cutting speed.
To change the cutting action, just turn the cutting action changing lever to the desired cutting action position.
Refer to the table to select the appropriate cutting action.

The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 800
and 2,800 strokes per minute by turning the adjusting
dial. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in
the direction of number 5; lower speed is obtained when
it is turned in the direction of number 1.
Refer to the table to select the proper speed for the
workpiece to be cut. However, the appropriate speed
may differ with the type or thickness of the workpiece. In
general, higher speeds will allow you to cut workpieces
