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.
HELPFUL HINTS
Always clamp workpiece securely before cutting.
A safe operator is one who thinks ahead.
Always wear eye protection when cutting slots.
Make set-up adjustments carefully. Then double check.
Measure twice and cut once.
Always dry assemble your project before gluing it
together.
The more biscuits used, the stronger the joint will be.
Keep blade clean and properly sharpened.
Don’t let familiarity make you careless.
Study all safety rules and do the job safely.
NEVER
place your hands in jeopardy.
Make certain clamps can’t loosen while in use.
Test difficult set-ups on scrap—Don’t waste lumber.
Plan each operation before you begin.
Provide for smoother operation by cleaning your plate
joiner frequently. Shake plate joiner or blow with an air
jet to remove wood particle build-up.
Empty dust bag when half full.
DO NOT ABUSE POWER TOOLS.
Abusive practices
can damage tool as well as workpiece.
THINK SAFETY BY THINKING AHEAD.
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
is required.
OPERATION
Once all slots have been cut, place a biscuit in each joint
and dry assemble the workpieces. Make sure each joint
lines up and fits.
Finally, disassemble workpieces and place a bead of
glue in each slot. Also, spread a bead of glue over the
entire surface of the joint. Reinsert the biscuits and
assemble workpieces.
See Figure 17.
Clamp workpieces together until the glue sets up.
If the workpieces are the same thickness, clamp securely to
a workbench with the short sides up.
See Figure 19.
Set
fence angle at 45
°
. Place your plate joiner on the workpiece
with the adjustable fence resting on the short side of the
workpiece and the base or vertical fence against the mitered
edge of the workpiece. Follow steps 9-17 above to cut
required slots.
REMEMBER:
Before cutting slots, make sure blade will not
cut through the workpiece and that both the vertical and
horizontal fences are pressed flat against the mitered edge
and face of the workpiece.
