OPERATING
PENDULUM ACTION
When the pendulum action is selected, the blade achieves maximum
penetration on the upward cutting stroke and is lifted back, away from the
material, on the downward non-cutting stroke. This gives improved quality of
cut, and longer blade life.
To set the pendulum action, rotate the pendulum action switch to the desired
setting.
The table below can be used to select the correct settings. This is only a
recommendation, you should always make a test cut on a scrap piece of
material first.

VARIABLE SPEED SELECTOR
The variable speed selector is used to control the speed of the jigsaw, this is
measured in strokes per minute.
• The higher the number selected the faster the stroke rate of the blade.
• The stroke rate should be changed according to the material being cut.
This is only a recommendation, you should always make a test cut on a
scrap piece of material first.
