The two Perpendicular Guides can be adjusted to properly position rails or other narrow material for fast and
accurate repetitive
pocket holes. The Guides establish the “Offset” for the pocket holes. Each Guide is held in
place with two adjustment knobs. To adjust, loosen the two knobs, slide the Guide to the desired location,
confirm guide is perpendicular to the fence and tighten the two knobs. Both Guides adjust in the same manner.
NOTE: The “Pocket Hole
Red
Alignment Guide” indicates the approximate middle of location of
the pocket to be cut.
One method to set the Perpendicular Guides is to adjust one for the correct offset from one edge of the stock.
Then to set the second Perpendicular Guide to the correct offset from the other edge of the stock. This allows
quick positioning from side-to-si
de when processing two pocket holes in a “rail” or similar applications.
NOTE: Some applications may require more than two pockets per part. For example,
if the part is over
3” wide, at least two pockets should be cut.
MAINTENANCE
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the tool before doing any maintenance. Never
disassemble the tool or try to do any rewiring to its electrical system. Contact a qualified
electrician for electrical repairs. Always follow lockout/tag out procedures when servicing
electrical equipment.
General Maintenance
Keep the machine
in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance program. Before each day’s use, examine
the general condition of the tool, and inspect the guards, switches and power cord for damage. Check for loose
bolts, misalignment, binding of moving parts, improper mounting, broken parts, and any other condition that may
affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the machine OFF immediately and have the
problem corrected before further use. Do not use a damaged machine. Tag damaged machine
s “DO NOT USE”
until repaired.
Cleaning
Daily:
Check pneumatic oil level and add oil if necessary (if so equipped).
Clean all dust and debris from the vents in the motor housing.
Keep the handles clean, dry and free from oil and grease.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool, because certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful
to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner,
chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia, and household detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
