Warning!
Failure to unplug your biscuit joiner could result in accidental starting
causing possible serious personal injury.
•
Place the pieces of wood to be joined on a level workbench.
•
Using a combination square, draw a line through the center of each joint
perpendicular to the mitred edged.
•
Set fence angle at 0º, set fence height at desired dimension on the scale,
select the correct depth of cut setting for the biscuit size you plan to use and
clamp work piece securely.
•
Align indicator mark on fence with the centerline on the work piece.
•
Plug your biscuit joiner into the power supply and prepare to cut slot.
•
Slide the switch trigger to turn on your biscuit joiner and then push it forward
to extend the blade into the wood.
•
When the base assembly bottoms out against the depth of cut adjustment
knob setting, pull back releasing pressure on the spring. Blade will retract from
biscuit slot.
•
Repeat this procedure for cutting the mating slot and all required mitre joint slots.
•
Once all biscuit slots have been cut, place a biscuit in each joint and dry
assemble the work pieces. Make sure each joint lines up and fits.
•
Finally, disassemble the work pieces 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 the work pieces.
•
Clamp work pieces together until the glue sets.
How to Make Edge Mitre Joints
Unplug the Biscuit Joiner.
•
Place the pieces of wood to be joined on a level workbench.
•
Mark centerline of the joint on each board.
•
When making mitre joints with work pieces that have different thicknesses,
clamp securely to a workbench with the long sides up. This will ensure that the
outside surfaces will match.
•
Loosen bevel locking knob and set fence angle at 45º.
•
Slide the fence up or down until the fence height is at desired setting.
•
Tighten the height and bevel locking knobs securely.
•
Place your biscuit joiner on work piece with the adjustable fence resting on the
long side of the work piece. The base or vertical fence should be against the
mitred edge of the work piece.
•
Recheck the fence height setting to make sure it will not cut through the
work piece.
