NOTE: Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of
the lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or
it may lower the illumination.
NOTE: When the tool is overheated, the lamp blinks
for one minute. In this case, cool down the tool before
another operation.

Adjusting the shoe

WARNING:
Always remove the battery car-
tridge and the recipro saw blade when removing
or adjusting the shoe.
CAUTION:
Always install the shoe and make
sure that the shoe touches the workpiece before
operating the tool.
CAUTION:
Always make sure that the shoe
is adjusted in proper position so that the reci-
pro saw blade does not touch the tool during
operation.
Fig.7
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.
