6) Choose the Appropriate Rubber Pad
The pinner is supplied with 2 rubber pads. For
flat moulding the round pad is generally better.
For profiled moulding with varying heights the
L shaped pad is generally better.
7) Set the Top Clamp
It is important to set the height of the top clamp
correctly. Place the moulding to be used against
the fence. Set the gap between the lowest point
of the moulding and the underside of the rubber
pad to 20mm. To adjust the height, press the
round button forward to release the vertical bar.
Slide the clamp up or down as required.
Release the clamp adjusting button.

8) Insert the Wedge
With all the above settings made:
l
Push the fence into the back position
l
Press down and hold the right hand pedal
l
Place 2 mitred pieces against the fence
l
Release the right hand pedal
l
Visually check the joint is tight
l
Press the left hand pedal firmly all the way
........
down until the light comes on.
l
Release the left hand pedal
If a second wedge is to be inserted;
Slide the fence and moulding to the next wedge
position and use the left hand footpedal again.
Do not press the right hand pedal until all of the
wedges required have been inserted into the
corner.
During the cycle the top clamp will travel down
and contact the moulding, then the driver will
push one wedge into the underside of the
moulding.
Please note:
It is recommended that a suitable
glue is always used when making a frame.
Apply a small amount of glue to one of the
mitred ends before loading into the pinner.
The glue will give the frame strength and
ensure it lasts for many years.
