ADJUSTING PIVOTING GUIDE SHOE
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
DO NOT OPERATE THE TIGER SAW® WITH THE GUIDE SHOE
REMOVED.
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.
