INSTALLING A BLADE
WARNING: Always remove the plug from
the power source before installing or
removing a blade or adjusting the saw in any
way.
1. To install a blade in the saw, rotate the
blade locking sleeve (1) counter clockwise
(Fig. 1).
2. Insert the appropriate blade (2) into the
blade slot (3) as far as it will go.
3. Release the blade locking sleeve.
NOTE: The blade will automatically be locked
into the blade holder. Pull outward on the blade
to ensure it is properly locked into the blade
holder.
REMOVING A BLADE
To remove a blade, simply rotate the blade
locking sleeve counter clockwise 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 workpiece. This action ensures
the flat surface of the shoe is against the
workpiece 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.
1. To adjust the pivoting shoe (1), rotate the
pivoting shoe adjusting lever (2) to its
downward position (3) (Fig. 2).
2. Slide the pivoting shoe in or out until it is in
the appropriate position.
3. Lock the pivoting shoe in place by rotating
the pivoting shoe adjusting lever upward to
its original horizontal position.
4. Pull outward on the pivoting shoe to ensure
it is firmly locked in place.
