Pivot Shoe Adjustment (Fig. 8)
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. 9).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.
