6. Setup and Installation

- Align the Boot Foot: Take the new 24239300 Boot Foot. Align the opening of the boot foot with the bottom end of the Workmate leg.
- Install the Boot Foot: Firmly press the boot foot onto the leg. You may need to apply steady pressure or gently tap it with a rubber mallet to ensure it is fully seated. The fit should be snug to prevent it from coming loose during use.
- Verify Installation: Once installed, check that the boot foot is securely attached and does not wobble. Ensure all boot feet on your Workmate are properly installed and provide a level, stable base.

7. Operation
The boot foot functions passively by providing a stable, non-slip base for your Workmate. Its primary role is to prevent the workbench from sliding during use and to protect the floor surface from damage. Ensure all boot feet are present and in good condition before placing any load on the Workmate.
8. Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the boot feet for signs of wear, cracking, or damage. Worn boot feet can compromise the stability of your Workmate.
- Cleaning: Clean the boot feet with a damp cloth to remove dirt, sawdust, or debris that could affect their grip.
- Replacement: If a boot foot shows significant wear or damage, replace it immediately with a genuine BLACK+DECKER 24239300 Boot Foot to maintain optimal performance and safety.
