Position '0'
Positions '1 – 3' Orbital cutting actions
Orbital cutting action has an aggressive blade cutting motion
and is especially suited for cutting soft materials.
During orbital cutting the blade moves forwards as well as
up and down. Position 1 is the least aggressive of the orbital
cutting actions, with position 3 being the most aggressive.
The Table below gives some typical examples of the use of the

5. LASER CUTTING GUIDE
This jigsaw is fitted with a Laser Guide which can be useful when
cutting straight lines. Only switch the Laser Guide on when you
are about to make a straight cut, and switch it off when the cut
has been completed. The switch is located on the front of the
machine. Press the 'I' side of the rocker switch to turn the Laser
Guide 'On' . Press the 'O' side of the rocker switch to turn the
Laser Guide 'Off' .
WARNING: Do not stare directly at the laser beam. A hazard
may exist if you deliberately stare into the beam. Please observe
all of the following safety rules.
• The laser beam must not be deliberately aimed at personnel
and must be prevented from being directed towards the eyes
of a person or animal.
• Always ensure that the laser beam is used only on workpieces
that have non-reflective surfaces, i.e natural wood or matt
surfaces etc.
• Never exchange the laser module assembly for a different
type or class of laser.
• Repairs to the laser module must only be conducted by
Evolution Power Tools or their authorized agent.
REPLACEMENT OF LASER BATTERIES
Power for the Laser Guide is provided by two (2) 'AAA' Cells.
When exhausted these should be replaced.
Access to the battery compartment is gained by loosening the
screw and removing the battery compartment cover.
(Fig. 5)
Observe the polarity of the cells and replace the cover after cell
replacement.
