without the notched or slotted windows in
place.
• With the power off, check that the cutter
clears the safety guard and windows before
making a cut.
• Never push in the safety guards by hand
unless the power cord is disconnected.
• Do not join timber narrower than 14mm. The
cutter could break through the back of the
material.
• Always disable power tools when not in use
by switching off the tool and removing the
power cord from the Triton switchbox.
• Always keep children and pets out of the
workshop, especially when you are operating
power tools.

OPERATING
The Triton Biscuit Joiner (BJA300) can be used
with or without the sliding guide fitted. The
sliding guide can be used on either side of the
workpiece and reversed for 45° or 90° joints.
Cutter height adjustment
Adjust the height of the cutter above the router
plate by using the height adjustment mechanism
of your router. It is not normally necessary to
exactly centre the cuts on the edge or end of
the wood, but make sure you have at least 3mm
of material on either side of the biscuit (Fig.7).
As long as you always lay your wood with the
good (or seen) face down on the table, the slots
in matching pieces will always line up perfectly.
This is especially important if the pieces of wood
vary slightly in thickness.
Sighting up cuts
If you have marked your wood for the position
of the centre of each biscuit, line up your pencil
marks with the central lines marked on the
windows and the top of the main body. (Fig.
8). You don't have to be very accurate in lining
up cuts - the biscuits are designed to move
sideways a little in their slots. You can also safely
elongate the slots. Use the two reference lines
on the top of the main body, on either side of the
central line.
