FENCE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

See Figure 5.

The fence on your biscuit joiner can be moved up and down
to adjust the position of the blade in relation to the top of the
workpiece. A scale on both sides of the front base indicates
height settings for both 45

°

 and 90

°

 angles. The fence and

height indicator mark can be positioned from 5/16 in. to 13/16
in. from the center of the blade for 45

°

  angles. It can be

positioned from 0 to 3/4 in. from the center of the blade for 90

°

angles. Scale marks are in increments of 1/16 in.

accidental starting causing possible serious personal
injury.

Pull the fence forward and slide it up or down until the
height indicator mark is aligned with the desired dimen-
sion on the scale.
