Adjusting The Shoe; Electronic Function - Makita JR001G Instruction Manual

Adjusting the shoe

When the recipro saw 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 recipro saw blade.
The position of the shoe can be adjusted in 6 levels.
To reposition the shoe, open the shoe adjusting lever and
select the suitable position, then close the shoe adjusting lever.
