Setting I soft materials where cleaner cutting or delicate scrolling work is performed. Setting II medium density materials such as harder woods or particle board. Setting III soft materials such as wood, plastics, etc. The following types of blades should only be used with orbital Setting O: 1. Blades with teeth that point downward (reverse-tooth blades). 2. Blades with teeth that point straight out rather than up or down. 3. Carbide-tipped blades. 4. Grit-edge 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. 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. SCREW (A) FOOTPLATE PROTRACTOR (Not included) FOOTPLATE INSERTS (1587AVS & 1587DVS) Model 1587AVS & 1587DVS 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. 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.
