E: Make sure the blade is fully inserted into the blade collar and the blade
teeth are pointing downward.
• While holding the blade fully into the blade holder, release the collar. It will auto-
matically return to its original position, locking the blade in the holder.
• Pull outward on the blade to ensure it is properly locked in the blade holder.

The pivoting shoe will pivot to follow the angle of the blade to the workpiece. This
action ensures the flat surface of the shoe is against the workpiece for better cut-
ting action and easier control of the saw.
The shoe can be adjusted in or out, allowing the use of the blade teeth at different
points of the blade. This will provide longer blade life as one section of the blade
becomes dull.
