MAKING A BISCUIT SLOT
1. Ensure the workpiece is secure and clamped down.
2. Adjust cutting depth, fence angle, and height of cut (see pages 11
and 12).
3. Plug the biscuit Joiner into a proper outlet.

It is recommended to mark the center of the desired biscuit slot
on a face that will be visible during the cutting operation. Align this
center mark with the center indent on the slide plate.

OPERATION TIPS
It is recommended to test cutting of biscuit slots on scrap wood before making any final cuts. This will help properly
align the slot and the biscuit in the final workpiece.
The biscuit joiner is set up to cut the standard 3 different sizes of biscuits. It is recommended to use the largest
biscuit size that will fit the joint.
See Figure 11
