[. . . ] 6 12 OPERATION FENCE HEIGHT The adjustable fence on the biscuit joiner can be moved up or down to adjust the position of the blade in relation to the top of the workpiece. A scale on each side of the fence indicates the height of the fence from the center of the blade. The fence can be positioned up to two inches from the center of the blade. However, the scale and indicator point can only be set up to 2 in. Scale marks are in increments of 1/16 in. INDICATOR HEIGHT SETTING SCALE POINT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT KNOB SETTING THE FENCE HEIGHT See Figure 7. n Loosen the locking knob approximately one turn. n Move the fence up or down by rotating the height adjustment knob until the indicator point is aligned with the desired dimension on the scale. n Tighten the locking knob securely. TO LOWER TO RAISE TO TIGHTEN FENCE ANGLE TO LOOSEN The adjustable fence on the biscuit joiner can be set at angles ranging from 0° to 135°, with accurate positive stops set in 45° increments. A scale is located on each side of the adjustable fence for identifying these positive stop angles. Each stop reached when rotating the adjustable fence from one angle setting to another equals a 45° positive stop angle change. LOCKING KNOB ADJUSTABLE FENCE ANGLE SETTING SCALE Fig. 7 SETTING THE FENCE ANGLE See Figure 8. n Loosen the locking knob approximately one turn. n Rotate the fence to the desired angle. n Tighten the locking knob securely. ROTATE ADJUSTABLE FENCE TO DESIRED ANGLE SETTING TO TIGHTEN TO LOOSEN Fig. 8 13 OPERATION MAKING EDGE-TO-EDGE JOINTS See Figures 9 - 10. Edge-to-edge joinery is one of the most basic and easilyconstructed joints. n Prepare the workpieces by laying them side by side on a workbench in the order in which they will be assembled. n Using a square, determine the location of each biscuit spline joint and mark the center of each joint by drawing a line across each workpiece. The joint will be stronger if you use multiple biscuits placed close together. n Loosen the locking knob approximately one turn and set the fence angle at 90°. n Set the fence height at the desired dimension on the scale by rotating the height adjustment knob. NOTE: The scale indicates the height of the fence from the center of the blade. [. . . ] Biscuit thickness may be out of tolerance. Compress biscuits in a vise if they are too thick. Check to see if biscuits are the correct size for the size slots that have been cut: #0, #10, or #20. Check to see if biscuits have gotten wet and have swelled. 2. [. . . ]
