ADJUSTING PIVOTING GUIDE SHOE

The pivoting guide shoe (A) Fig. 8, serves as a rest while making a cut and it can be adjusted to accommodate many types of cutting applications.

The Model 741 pivoting guide shoe is adjusted by loosening the two hex screws (with wrench supplied) located on the bottom of the front gear housing (A) Fig. 9. Loosen both screws enough to allow the pivoting guide shoe to move freely. Adjust to 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, make sure both screws are securely fastened.

USING THE SAW

Before you start to work select the blade best suited for the material to be cut. For greatest economy, use the shortest blade suitable for the thickness of the material to be cut.
