ADJUSTING THE SHOE PARALLEL TO THE BLADE
Your saw is adjusted at the factory so that the blade and shoe are parallel. If
these parts become misaligned, adjust as follows:
1. TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY.
2. Loosen the 2 screws at the adjusting bracket at the rear of the shoe, as
shown in Figure 11.
3. Adjust the shoe until it is parallel to the blade by measuring from the
edge of the shoe to the blade, front & rear. You can measure from the
outside edge of the blade to the shoe as shown in Figure 11 or from the
the inner edge of the blade to the wider part of the shoe. (Do not measure
from the tips of any saw blade teeth.)
4. When the shoe is parallel, tighten all screws.
