The anti-splinter device helps stablize the workpiece and reduce workpiece splinter.

To use, slide the anti-splinter device onto the shoe or shoe cover (Fig. 3). Make sure the anti-splinter device is installed flush with the bottom of the shoe and shoe cover, as applicable.

Note: Use the transparent blade cover and anti-splinter device only when the shoe is perpendicular to the blade.

The shoe may be tilted up to 45° in either direction and moved forward or backward.

Shoe cover

Using the shoe cover

The shoe cover is used to prevent marring and scratching of the workpiece surface. To attach the shoe cover, hook the front of the cover over the steel shoe. Next, snap the rear of the shoe cover to the steel shoe. Be sure both sides are snapped in place.

When the shoe cover is not needed, re- move it by pulling the tabs on rear of the shoe cover outward from the steel shoe. Unhook the front of the shoe cover and remove.

To set a tilt angle for angle cuts and bevels, loosen the shoe adjustment lever and pull the base forward slightly until the retaining lugs are no longer engaged. Tilt the shoe to the required preset angle (15°, 30°, or 45°) as read on the tilt angle scale. Push back the shoe into the retain- ing lugs and tighten the shoe adjustment lever. If angles other than the presets are required, set the desired angle and tighten the shoe adjustment lever without engag- ing the retaining lugs.

If very exact angles are needed it is rec- ommended that a test cut and subsequent adjustment be made.
