SCROLLINg ANd ORbITAL ACTION (fig 5)
• SCROLLINg
“S”- this mode allows 360°
blade rotation using the scrolling knob.
There is no orbital action in this mode.
Use with a scroll blade to cut intricate
scroll patterns in all materials.
• SMOOTh
“0”- for cutting all materials
using the normal up and down blade
motion with minimal splintering. There
is no orbital action in this mode. Use
this mode for cutting hardwoods, mild
steel, soft and hard materials using fine
wood-cutting and smooth metal cutting blades.
• LOw
“1”- for cutting most metal, plastics and hardwoods, with a slightly
aggressive orbital action.
• MedIUM
“2”- for cutting most metal, plastics, and hardwoods with a more
aggressive orbital action than the LOW mode.
• fAST
“3”- for maximum orbital action and the fastest cutting speed in
plywood, soft woods and softer materials.
Choose the SCROLLING (S) or SMOOTH (0) setting with the scrolling/orbital
control lever for normal up and down blade motion (position S and 0).
Choose the LOW or MEDIUM settings for the least aggressive orbital blade
actions (positions 1 and 2).
Choose the FAST setting for the fastest, most aggressive cutting with maximum
orbital blade action (position 3).

SCROLLINg CONTROL KNOb (fig 6)
The scrolling feature allows the blade to be
rotated 360°. It is ideal for cutting curves,
designs and detailed pattern work.
1. To engage the scrolling function, move
the scrolling/orbit control lever to the
SCROLLING position (fig 5).
2. Grasp the scrolling control knob (fig 6).
3. The scrolling control knob can be
rotated 360° to the left or right while guiding the saw in order to follow
intricate cutting lines.

NOTe:
• The blade can be locked into any scrolling position within 360° by switching
the scrolling/orbit control lever to the “SMOOTH” position.
• After moving the lever into the scrolling position, turn the scrolling knob
back and forth to be sure the blade plunger assembly is locked into the
desired position.
• When scroll cutting intricate designs, we recommend that you use a scroll
cutting blade.
• Excessive side pressure on the blade could break the blade, which could
damage the material that is being cut.
NOTe:
In order to reach full orbital action, the blade must be facing straight
ahead, and the back of the blade must rest in the groove of the guide
roller. The foot must be positioned all the way forward. Orbital action is not
observable when the saw is free-running. The saw must be cutting in order for
orbital action to occur. The cutting speed is easier to see in thicker materials.
IMPORTANT:
When you are scroll cutting with the scrolling control knob,
always hold the saw handle in one hand and rotate the scrolling knob with the
other hand while applying pressure to the front of the saw so that it does not
jump out of the workpiece.
