The following types of blades should only be
used with orbital Setting O:
1. Blades with teeth that point downward
(reverse-tooth blades).

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.

FOOTPLATE INSERTS

Model 1584AVS & 1584DVS will accept two
footplate inserts which may be changed by
removing the six screws (B). The steel insert is
used for most general cutting operations, and
the smooth plastic insert may be used to
minimize scratches on fine surfaces.

2. Blades with teeth that point straight out
rather than up or down.
3. Carbide-tipped blades.
4. Grit-edge blades.
Intermediate angles may be set with a
protractor. After positioning the footplate,
securely tighten screw (A).
On model 1584DVS, 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.

ANTI-SPLINTER INSERT

To minimize splintering of the top surface of
the material being cut, place the anti-splinter
insert in the blade opening of the footplate.
Note: This insert will only work with blades
that have ground sides such as T301CD,
T101B, T101D, and T101DP.
