Saw
Shoe
(Fig.
2)
The front of the saw shoe (K) has a kerf indicator (E) that allows the
operator to glide the saw along cutting lines. Aligning the cutting line
with the notch on the front of the shoe and centering it using the
modified V-shaped kerf indicator allows the operator to keep the
blade in line with the cutting line. If the cutting line is visible through
the narrowest part of the kerf indicator, the blade will pass directly over
the cutting line.
OPERATION
