Assembly / Warranty
Fit the other end of the fixed fence to the brace
using the Brace Spacer (21) (keys engaging in
the short slot), by feeding an M6 x 16 Coach
Bolt into the Brace Spacer (21) then fitting a
Washer (19) and M6 Nyloc Nut (20).
Tap the Tube Closures (25) into the ends of the
outer brace.
Step 3
(Use fasteners from Fastener Bag 3) -
Slide two M6 x 50 Coach Bolts (27) and one
M6 x 12 Coach Bolt (28) into the channel in the
top of each fence. Note: It will be necessary
to temporarily remove one of the round knobs
from the adjustable fence. The order of the
bolts is long - short - long.
Fit a Fence Clamp (29) and M6 Flange Nut (15)
onto each long bolt.
Slide each clamp approximately 100mm from
the fence ends, positioning their bases level
with the front of the fences. Tighten the flange
nuts and loosely fit the Round Knobs (24).
Place the MDF Fence Faces (6) onto the
bottom lip of each fence and slip under the
clamps. Secure by tightening the round knobs.
Fit the Stop Supports (30) to the short bolts
and tighten approximately in the middle of each
fence with M6 Flange Nuts (15). The correct
position will be determined later.
Screw a Right-handed Fence Cap (7) and a
Left-handed Fence Cap (8) onto each end of
the Link Hose (9). Note the hose has a left-
hand thread - screw anti-clockwise.
Locate the fence caps, with hose fitted, into
the ends of the fences closest to the slider,
using the orientation. Gently tap them in
completly with a mallet or similar. Note: It may
be necessary to temporarily loosen the nyloc
nut at the end of the fixed fence and the round
knob at the end of the adjustable fence while
fitting the caps.
Fit the remaining fence caps to the other fence
ends.
Insert three M6 x 12 Coach Bolts (28) down the
rear channel of the fixed fence.
Fit the plastic Finger Spacer (31) and

2
” or
1

” Finger (32 or 33 depending on which size
finger joints you wish to make) to the centre
bolt using a Washer (19) and Hex Nut (12).
Position it approximately 25mm past the cutter
opening in the fence, toward the outer brace.
Fit a Finger Stop (34), to each of the outer bolts
using Washers (19) and M6 Hex Nuts (12) The
correct position will be determined later.
Step 4
(Use fasteners from Fastener Bag 3) - Push
an M4 Nyloc Nut (35) into the hexagonal
depression on each Cutter Surround 'A' & 'B'
(36). Screw an M4 x 10 Screw (37) into each.
Leave a 3mm gap under the head of the screw,
and fit them to the fences as follows.

Surround 'A' to the fixed fence and 'B' to the
adjustable fence.
For

” cuts fit 'B' to the fixed fence and 'A' to
the adjustable fence. Turn the unit upside down
and drop the cutter surround into the opening
on the fence base. Slide it back until the screw
locates fully into the slot. Tighten the screw to
lock each surround in place.
Dust Extraction
The Finger Jointer has been designed for use
with a vacuum cleaner for chip extraction.
Screw the vacuum hose, supplied with your
Router Table, into the dust port on the fixed
fence (left-hand thread) and plug the wand of
your vacuum cleaner into the hose adaptor.
The end of the adjustable fence remains open
to provide a through-flow of air, for effective
extraction.
For a larger collection capacity, consider
fitting a Triton Dust Collector (DCA300) to your
vacuum.
If not connected for dust extraction it will be
necessary to stop work at intervals and clear
the shavings from inside the fences. Shavings
will also need to be removed from beneath the
workpiece, between cuts, using a bristle brush
(eg. paint brush or similar).
