FOOTPLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
The footplate may be tilted to allow angle cuts up to 45˚ in either direction. To adjust footplate, loosen screw (A) with allen wrench, slide the footplate towards the front of the tool, and rotate to the desired angle, as marked on the angle scale. Detent slots will hold the footplate firmly at 0˚, and there are additional position marks for 15˚ and 45˚ angles.
Intermediate angles may be set with a protractor. After positioning the footplate, securely tighten screw (A).
On model 1587DVS, screw (A) is covered by sliding cover, which should be closed after making the footplate adjustment. Note that when the footplate is used on an angle, dust cover must be removed, and chip collection efficiency will be reduced.
