vice onto the shoe (Fig. 3).
Make sure the anti-splinter
device is installed fl ush with
the bottom of the shoe.
NOTE: Do not use the transparent blade cover and
anti-splinter device when making bevel/angle cuts.
Using the shoe cover
The shoe cover is used to prevent marring and
scratching of the workpiece surface. To attach the
shoe cover:
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Hook the front of the cover over the steel
shoe.
3. Snap the rear of the shoe cover over the back
of the shoe. Be sure both sides are snapped in
place.
4. When the shoe cover is not needed, remove
it by pulling the tabs on rear of the shoe cover
down. Unhook the front of the shoe cover and
remove.
Adjusting the shoe
The shoe may be tilted up to 45° in either direction.
To set a tilt angle for bevel/angle cuts:
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Loosen the shoe adjustment lever and pull the
base forward slightly until the detents are not
engaged.
3. Tilt the shoe to the required preset angle
(0°, 15°, 30°, or 45°).
4. Push the shoe into the detent and tighten the
shoe adjustment lever.
5. To set an angle other than 0°, 15°, 30°, or 45°,
loosen the shoe adjustment lever and pull the
base forward slightly until the detents are not
engaged. Set the desired angle and tighten
the shoe adjustment lever without engaging a
detent. Make a test cut to verify the angle.

Adjusting the orbital action
The amount of orbital action may be adjusted with

orbital action (4) should be used with soft materials
and a no orbital action (0) should be used with hard
materials. When a smooth cut is required, no orbit
(0) should be used.
