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.

Shoe screw

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

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

2.To move the shoe back for plunge cuts or cuts in corners, loosen the shoe screw and pull the shoe all the way back. The shoe screw will fit into a slot to hold the shoe at 0°.

Using the Shoe Cover

The non-marring 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, remove 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.
