When the blade loses its cutting efficiency in one place
along its cutting edge, reposition the shoe to utilize a
sharp, unused portion of its cutting edge. This will help to
lengthen the life of the blade. To reposition the shoe,
push the shoe button in the "A" direction with a click and
reposition as shown in the figure which allows you to
make five-way adjustment. To secure the shoe, push the
shoe button in the "B" direction with a click.

This tool can be operated with an orbital or a straight line
cutting action. The orbital cutting action thrusts the blade
forward on the cutting stroke and greatly increases
cutting speed.
To change the cutting action, press the stopper and turn
the lever to the desired cutting action position. Then,
release the stopper to lock the lever. Refer to the table to
select the appropriate cutting action.
NOTE:
Orbital action means that the saw blade moves up
•
and down, and back and forth at the same time.
This increases the efficiency of cutting.
