ADJUSTING THE PIVOTING GUIDE SHOE
The guide shoe (A) Fig. 11 serves as a rest while making a cut. It pivots,
allowing you to gradually raise the saw handle so that the blade is per-
pendicular to the work.
Use the supplied hex wrench to adjust the pivoting guide shoe. Loosen the
two hex screws located on the bottom of the front gear housing (A) Fig. 12.
Loosen both screws enough to allow the pivoting guide shoe to move freely.
Adjust to the 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, securely tighten both screws.

BEFORE YOU START TO WORK
Select the blade best suited for the workpiece. For greatest economy, use
the shortest blade suitable for the thickness of the workpiece.
Be sure that the workpiece is secured. Clamp small workpieces in a bench
vise or to the work table. As the work progresses in scroll or curved cut-out
pieces, adust the material to accommodate the movement of the saw. If the
workpiece is large enough, you can hold it only by hand across saw horses.
The saw cuts freely with only slight feed pressure. Forcing the saw will not
make it cut faster.
SAWING WOOD
The Cordless Reciprocating Saw is used much the same as a hand saw in
that it is moved toward you during the cutting operation. However, since the
blade cuts on the up-stroke (instead of the down-stroke as in the case of the
hand saw), the good or finish side of the work should face down during the
cutting operation.
