WARNING
Use protective gloves when removing the saw blade from the tool, or
first allow the saw blade to cool down. The saw blade may be hot
after prolonged use.
Pivot Shoe Adjustment (Fig. 7)
Your tool is equipped with a pivot shoe that can slide
in and out to adjust the effective stroke length for
maximum control and longer blade life.
a. Depress the lock-off button to the locked position
and then remove the battery pack from the tool.
b. Loosen the shoe-release screws by turning them
counterclockwise with the hex key (supplied) and
slide the shoe to the desired position.
c. Tighten the shoe-release screws by turning them
clockwise with the hex key (supplied) to lock the
shoe in the desired position.
WARNING
To avoid injury and
damage, do not operate
the saw without the pivot shoe in place. The
blade clamp may strike against the workpiece and damage the reciprocating mechanism.
WARNING
Make sure that the front end of the blade extends through the shoe
for the entire stroke length (Fig. 8).Do not use specialty blades that are very
short or those with significant tilt. The blade must not contact the shoe. A blade that is too short or is tilted
could jam inside the shoe and then snap.
