ALIGNMENT PLATE (For Narrow Stock)
When joining narrow material, it will be necessary to install the alignment plate (A) Fig. 15, (furnished with tool). The alignment plate provides added support for narrow material, and has index marks to aid in centering the cut in the narrow material. Index marks are provided for 11/2" wide, and 2" wide material. Install alignment plate as follows:
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
1.Align alignment plate with fence (see Fig. 15).
2.Slide alignment plate onto fence until it is seated (see Fig. 16).
NOTE: When alignment plate is installed: increase tool depth setting by 5/32" (to allow for thickness of the alignment plate).
3.To remove alignment plate: lift lightly on the alignment plate and slide off fence.

“DOUBLE” BISCUITS
The alignment plate may also be used as a spacer to produce a groove that is wide enough to accept two biscuits. After cutting a groove (or a group of grooves), in the normal fashion: install the alignment plate and repeat the cuts. This will double the width of each groove so that two biscuits can be installed in each groove.
DUST PORT
The tool is equipped with a dust port
(A)Fig. 17. A large volume of sawdust and chips will be exhausted from this port during tool operation. A dust bag
(B)Fig. 18 and a dust/chip deflector nozzle (C) Fig. 17 are furnished. A standard 1" vacuum hose can be connected to the dust port to facilitate dust collection.
Do not operate the tool without a dust/chip deflector nozzle and dust bag, or a vacuum hose, attached to the dust port.
