When the blade loses its cutting efficiency in one place 
along its cutting edge, reposition the shoe to utilize a 
sharp, unused portion of its cutting edge. This will help 
to lengthen the life of the blade. To reposition the shoe, 
push the shoe button in the "A" direction with a click and 
reposition as shown in the figure which allows you to 
make five-way adjustment. To secure the shoe, push 
the shoe button in the "B" direction with a click.

operator comfort during extended use. Apply
