INSTALLING THE BLADE
NOTE: Please refer to the illustration figure 1
when installing or removing the blade.
1. Pull the blade release lever (1) outward
from the saw housing.
2. While holding the blade release lever
outward, insert the appropriate blade (2) into
the blade slot (3) as far as it will go.
3. Secure the blade in place by pushing the blade release lever
(1) back into the locked position in the saw housing.
REMOVING THE BLADE
To remove a blade, simply pull outward on the blade release lever and
remove the blade from the blade holder.
ADJUSTING THE PIVOTING SHOE
The pivoting shoe will pivot to follow the angle
of the blade to the work piece. This action
ensures that the flat surface of the shoe is
against the work piece for better cutting
action and easier control of the saw.
The shoe can be adjusted in or out, allowing
the use of the blade teeth at different points
on the blade. This will provide longer blade life as one section of the blade
becomes dull.
NOTE: Please refer to the illustration figure 2 when adjusting the pivoting
shoe.
1. To adjust the pivoting shoe (1), loosen the pivoting shoe hex screws (2) on
the lower side of the saw using the 4 mm hex key (3).
2. Slide the pivoting shoe in or out until it is in the appropriate position.
3. Lock the pivoting shoe in place by tightening the pivoting shoe hex screws.
4. Pull outward on the pivoting shoe to ensure that it is firmly locked
