SHOE ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: ALWAYS TURN OFF AND
DISCONNECT TOOL BEFORE CHANGING
ACCESSORIES OR MAKING ANY
ADJUSTMENTS.
Your shoe has been factory set to assure that the
blade is perpendicular to the shoe. If after extended
use, you need to re-align the blade follow the
directions below:
ADJUSTING FOR 90 DEGREE CUTS
1. Return the saw to 0 degrees bevel.
2. Place the saw on its side, and retract the lower
guard.
3. Loosen the bevel adjustment lever (11). Place a
square against the blade and the shoe as shown in
figure I1.
4. Using a hex wrench, turn the set screw on the
underside of the shoe shown in figure I2 until the blade and the shoe are both in flush
contact with the square. Retighten the bevel adjustment lever.
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO THE DEPTH AND BEVEL LEVERS - (FIGURE J)
It may be desirable to adjust the depth
adjustment lever or the bevel adjustment
lever. They may loosen in time and hit the
shoe before tightening.
To adjust the levers, follow the steps
below:
• Remove retaining ring (shown in figure J)
and thin flat washer. Retain for reassembly.
• Remove the lever and rotate the lever one
position counter clockwise and slide lever
into feature.
• Reinstall flat washer and lock ring with the concave side against the lever.
KERF INDICATOR (FIGURE K)
The front of the saw shoe has a kerf indicator
for vertical and bevel cutting. This indicator
enables you to guide the saw along cutting
lines penciled on the material being cut. The
indicator lines up with the left (inner) side of
the saw blade, which makes the slot or “kerf”
cut by the moving blade fall to the right of the
indicator.
Additionally, the BTE300 has 0 and 45
degree visual indicators - the corresponding
left and right sides of the window in the rip
fence slot (see item 15 in Fig. K), and also
labeled 0 and 45 degree indicators just in
front of the blade kerf (see item 16 in Fig. K). Note that the upper guard has been
removed from Fig. K for clarity.
