ADJUSTING THE PIVOTING GUIDE SHOE
The guide shoe (A) Fig. 11 serves as a rest while making a cut. It pivots, allowing you to gradually raise the saw handle so that the blade is per- pendicular to the work.
Use the supplied hex wrench to adjust the pivoting guide shoe. Loosen the two hex screws located on the bottom of the front gear housing (A) Fig. 12. Loosen both screws enough to allow the pivoting guide shoe to move freely. Adjust to the desired position and securely tighten both screws.
NOTE: Do not adjust the pivoting guide shoe out so far that it loses contact with the back screw. Doing so will cause the guide shoe to be unstable.
After adjusting, securely tighten both screws.
