Once all biscuit grooves have been cut,
test-fit biscuits with a "dry fit" prior to the
glue-up. Place a biscuit in each groove,
and fit the pieces together to check for

Once a proper fit is verified, apply glue to
workpiece edges and grooves, insert bis-
cuits into grooves, then clamp according
to the needs of the material and the glue
manufacturer's instructions.
4. Once blade reaches full depth, slide
joiner body backward, allowing blade
to retract into base plate.
5. Turn joiner
OFF
and wait for motor to
come to a complete stop before setting
