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.

TOOL ASSEMBLY
Installing saw blades
Use only T-Shank jig saw blades.
1. Unplug the tool.
2. Firmly rotate the Quik-Lok tension
lever as far as it will go and hold it in
position (Fig. 1).
3. Fit the saw blade into the groove in the
support roller and push it firmly into the
plunger as far as it will go; the lug of
the saw blade must be in the plunger.
4. Release the Quik-Lok tension lever and
the saw blade is automatically held.
5. Check that the saw blade is held firmly;
the slot in the plunger will be at an angle
to the blade (Fig. 2).
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplugtool before attach-
ing or removing accessories or
making adjustments. Use only
specifically recommended
accessories. Others may be
hazardous.

Using the anti-splinter device (Fig.3)
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.
Adjusting the shoe (Fig. 4)
The shoe may be tilted up to 45° in either
direction and moved forward or backward.
Fig. 4
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.
