SHOE ALIGNMENT
Your saw has been set at the factory for accurate vertical cuts (a 90
degree angle between the bottom of the shoe and the blade). The
edge of the shoe has also been set parallel to the blade so that it will
not bind when using an edge guide. If the saw should ever need
adjustment, it may be done as follows:
ADJUSTING FOR 90° CUTS
1. DISCONNECT PLUG FROM POWER SUPPLY.
2. Adjust the saw to 0° bevel.
3. Place saw on blade side (Fig. 10). Retract blade guard.
4. Loosen quadrant lever or knob (Fig. 10). Place a square against
the blade and shoe to adjust the 90° setting.
5. Loosen the hex nut and move the adjustment screw so that the
shoe will stop at the proper angle as shown in Figure 11. Lock
the screw in place by tightening the hex nut.
6. It may be necessary to adjust the quadrant angle pointer to line
up on “O” after shoe has been adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE SHOE PARALLEL TO THE BLADE
(Your saw is adjusted at the factory so that the blade and shoe are
parallel. If these parts become misaligned, adjust as follows.)
1. Disconnect plug from power supply.
2. Loosen the (2) screws at the adjusting bracket at the rear of the
shoe, as shown in Figure 12.
3. Adjust the shoe until it is parallel to the blade by measuring from
the edge of the shoe to the blade, front & rear. You can measure
from the outside edge of the blade to the shoe as shown in
Figure 12 or from the inner edge of the blade to the wider part
of the shoe. (Do not measure from the tips of any saw blade
teeth.)
4. When shoe is parallel, tighten all screws.
