Adjusting the foot plate position
Fig. C
When the blade loses its sharpness at some
sections of it’s cutting edge, reposition the
foot plate to use a sharp, unused portion of its
cutting edge.
Besides this, the foot plate can also be used
for adjusting maximum saw depth, especially
useful when sawing in hollow walls.
