To utilize the adjustable fence (4), remove the fixed fence by loosening the height lock knob and rotating the height adjustment knob until the fixed fence comes clear of the top of the joiner fence. Loosen the angle lock knob (11) and move the adjustable fence to the desired angle and re-tighten the knob. When using the adjustable fence for 90 degree cuts. it is recommended that you verify the angle of cut with a measuring tool such as a combination square or other device. Angle cuts of other degrees should also be verfied with additional measuring tools. FEATURES The Biscuit Jointer is designed for the cutting and jointing of timber. It provides an accurate, effective and convenient alternative to the other means of jointing (such as doweling) and can be particularly useful for edge jointing long boards of either natural wood or manufactured sheeting. The 100mm (4") TCT blade is plunged into the wood to the required depth, which is pre-set depending on the biscuit to be used. Commonly available biscuits are #20 (12 mm wide), #10 (10 mm wide) and #0 (8 mm wide). Glue is applied and the biscuit inserted into the semicircular slot that is left by the blade. As the glue sets, it expands the biscuit, resulting in an extremely strong joint. The adjustable fence allows the height and angle of the blade to be positioned to suit different joint requirements. The depth of cut can be dialed up on the pre-set control dial, depending on the biscuit to be used. As with dowels, two biscuits can be used, one above the other, for extra strength. Fig. 3) The depth of cut can be set to match the dimensions of the particular size biscuit you use. The numbers on the depth selector (6) coincide with the three most common sizes of biscuits, 0-10-20. The letter "M" stands for maximum depth capacity of the tool (18 mm). To select a depth, align the appropriate number with the mark on the tool's housing. Rotate the depth adjustment dial to the desired position and it "clicks" into place. ADJUSTMENTS Before making any adjustments, unplug the tool. 1~2) The joiner comes with two fence options. The joiner comes with the fixed fence (3) attached. This allows cuts at 90 degrees to a cut height of a maximum of 35mm (1-3/8"). [. . . ] Patience and practice are the keys to creating perfect joints. Fig. 4 OPERATION Biscuit jointers can be used for making various types of strong, accurate joints in pieces of timber or wood sheeting. To cut the biscuit slot the body of the jointer is moved toward the material after alignment, by utilizing the various features of the Biscuit Joiner you can create a wide range of different types of joints. Always make a reference line to line up the machine with the center of the material to be plunged to ensure accurate biscuit placement (Figure. [. . . ]
