•
Make sure that the front end of the blade extends through the
footplate for the entire stroke length. Do not use specialty blades
that are very short or those with a significant cant. The blade must
not contact the footplate at any point in its stroke. A blade that is too
short or canted could jam inside the foot and snap.
