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 five levels.
To reposition the shoe, open the shoe adjusting lever
and select the suitable position, then close the shoe
adjusting lever.
