OPERATION
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles
or glasses with side shields.
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. 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.
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.

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.

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).
