DUSTLESS FEATURE
See Figure 20.
The dust bag located on the rear of your plate joiner provides
a dust collection system. Wood particles are drawn up
through a tunnel in the base and collect in the dust bag during
cutting operations. For more efficient operation, empty dust
bag when half full.
Do not connect plate joiner to power supply before installing
dust bag.
TO INSTALL DUST BAG
The dust bag can be installed by inserting the dust bag
adaptor inside the blower exhaust.
See Figure 20.
TO EMPTY DUST BAG
Remove dust bag from plate joiner, remove retainer strip and
shake out dust. Occasionally turn the dust bag inside out and
brush the accumulation of dust from the inside of the bag.
This will permit the air to flow through the bag better.
WARNING:
To prevent the possibility of sawdust or foreign objects
being thrown into your face and eyes, never attempt to
use your plate joiner without dust bag properly installed.
Sawdust or foreign objects being thrown into your face
and eyes could result in possible serious injury.

EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power.
To keep the loss to a minimum and to prevent tool overheating,
use an extension cord that is heavy enough to carry the
current the tool will draw.
A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least
14
is recommended for
an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. A wire gage size
(A.W.G.) of at least
12
is recommended for an extension cord
50 - 100 feet in length. When working outdoors, use an
extension cord that is suitable for outdoor use. The cord's
jacket will be marked
WA.
ADAPTOR
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged,
replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged
cord since touching the damaged area could cause
electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
CAUTION:
Keep extension cords away from the cutting area and
position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber,
tools, etc. during cutting operations.
