The Depth Adjustment Dial sets the cutting depth of the blade. The Dial has settings for three sizes of biscuits (0, 10 or 20), and an “M” setting which is the maximum depth that the tool can cut.

To set the tool for a biscuit size:

Rotate the Depth Adjustment Dial to the desired setting for the biscuit size you will be using.

To check the setting for your biscuit size do either of the following:

a.Make a sample cut in a scrap piece of wood and check that the biscuit will fit.

b.Being careful of the blade, depress the Fence as far as it will go, then measure how far the blade extends.

a.Loosen the Nut on the Depth Bolt, then thread the bolt in or out. Adjusting the Bolt closer to the Depth Adjustment Dial makes a shallower cut, while farther away will make a deeper cut.

b.Depress the Fence and measure how far the Blade extends. Once the desired setting is reached, tighten the Nut in place.
