button from the side with unlock
mark and slide the shoe to the
desired position.

button, it will spring back
auomatically 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.

reciprocating mechanism.
WARNING:
Make sure that the front end of the blade extends through the shoe
for the entire stroke length.

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.

the shoe to the desired angle, while
