The adjustable fence will cut joints at angles from 0 to 90 at
a xed cut height of 9mm (5/16") (the center of a 25.4mm
board). To utilize the adjustable fence (4), remove the xed
fence by loosening the height lock knob and rotating the
height adjustment knob until the xed 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 vered with additional measuring tools.
Plunge Depth Adjustment (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.
Use your biscuit joiner only for the purposes listed
below:
Cutting and jointing of timber
Edge jointing long boards of either natural wood or
manufactured sheeting
APPLICATIONS
Page 3
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.
FEATURES
Before making any adjustments, unplug the tool.
Fence Adjustments (Fig. 1~2)
The joiner comes with two fence options. The joiner comes
with the xed fence (3) attached. This allows cuts at 90
degrees to a cut height of a maximum of 35mm (1-3/8").
To adjust the cut height. loosen the height lock knob (5)
and rotate the height adjustment knob (10) to achieve the
desired cut height. Tighten the height lock knob rmly using
nger pressure only.
