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 cut-
ting action. The orbital cutting action thrusts the blade for-
ward 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.
