Shoe Assembly

The shoe assembly is located at the front of the reciprocating saw and helps to direct the blade while you cut. The most common reason this part is replaced is just from simply misplacing it. If the saw is used roughly, the pivot hinge between the mounting bar and the shoe can damage, which can cause the shoe to fall off. Never use your saw without this part intact as it could cause damage to your equipment. For this easy repair, use your Allen wrench to remove the screws and this will allow you to remove the shoe. To install the new shoe assembly, line up the forks with the housing and slide it into position. To finish, tighten the screws back up and it is ready to go.
