Adjusting the shoe

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, push the shoe button in the "A"
direction with a click and reposition as shown in the
figure which allows you to make five-way adjustment. To
secure the shoe, push the shoe button in the "B" direc-
tion with a click.
