Adjusting the shoe
002487
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, loosen the lever counterclockwise and slide the shoe
forward or back to the desired position. Then tighten the lever to firmly secure
the shoe.
Selecting the cutting action
002489
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.
