6. FOOTPLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT

Note: The footplate is factory set and adjusted so that the blade

cuts at 90

to the footplate.

The footplate may be tilted to an angle of up to 45

to either side with

positive location stops at 15

, 30

and 45

To adjust the footplate:

WARNING: Disconnect the jigsaw from the power supply before

attempting to adjust the footplate.

• Unclip the plastic footplate shoe and store safely for future

installation. (Fig. 6)

• Withdraw the Dust Extraction Adaptor tube, if tted, and store

safely for future installation. (Fig. 7)

• Loosen the socket headed screw that holds the footplate to the

machine. (Fig. 8)

• Tilt the footplate to the desired angle. To engage one of the

positive stops it will be necessary to slide the footplate backwards

or forwards depending upon the stop required.

• Tighten the socket-headed screw carefully so as not to damage

the threads.

• Re-install the Dust Extraction Adaptor tube.

• Refit the plastic footplate shoe ensuring that all six (6)

securing lugs (2 to the front of the footplate and 2 either side)

are correctly seated.

Note: The positive location stops are intended as a guide only. For

accurate setting of the footplate we recommend the use of a vernier

angle gauge (not supplied).
