ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DEPTH
Fig.B
•
Move the motor base (15) as far as possible
backwards.
•
Set the cutting depth by turning the cutting depth
adjustment knob (7).
•
Move the motor base forwards and check if the pin
(A) will fall in the notch of the adjustment knob.
The following table shows the relationship of the
markings on the adjustment knob to cutting depth,
thickness of material and associated biscuit dowel:

ADJUSTING THE CUTTING ANGLE
Fig. C
•
The cutting angle can be set by unlocking the
clamping lever (8) and put the angle stop (4) in the
required angle.
•
Should the clamping lever be in the way when
working with the tool, then pull the clamping lever
out and fasten it in a different position without
changing the cutting angle.
ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT
Fig. D
•
The correct height can be set by unlocking the
clamping lever (9) and turning the knob for the height
adjustment (10) to the desired height with aid of the
scale (11).
•
The height must corresponds to half of the material
thickness of the working piece, the groove for the
biscuit dowel must always be in the middle of the
working piece.
•
Should the clamping lever be in the way when
working with the tool, then pull the clamping lever
out and fasten it in a different position without
changing the height.
MOUNTING ACCESSORIES
Disconnect the plug from the main socket
MOUNTING SAW BLADE
Fig. E
•
Loosen the allen screw (16) with the supplied allen

•
Place the flange nut (18) on the spindle (17) and
tighten it with the wrench.
•
The flange nut has two sides. One for sawblades with
bore 20 mm and the otherside for sawblades with
bore 22 mm.
Take care that the flange nut will be placed with the
correct side on the spindle.
•
Release the spindle lock and check that the spindle is
unlocked by rotating it.
•
Close the top of the base plate and fasten the allen
screw (16) with the supplied allen wrench.
Make sure that the top of the base plate is securely
closed before operating the machine.
MOUNTING DUST BAG
Fig. A
For dust extraction the dust bag (14) can be used.
Insert the dust bag (14) into the vacuuming connection
(13). Empty the dust bag regularly so that the vacuuming

Fig. F
Before starting with the Biscuit Jointer the workpieces
must be marked as following:
•
Place the two workpieces, which must be connected,
on top of each other.
•
Fasten the workpieces and mark the center of the
groove.
•
The space between two grooves should be 10-15
