BISCUITS
See Figure 1.
Biscuits are available in three standard sizes:
#R1 | (7/32 in. x 5/8 in.) |
#R2 | (9/32 in. x 3/4 in.) |
#R3 | (1/2 in. x 1 in.) |
NOTE: Store biscuits in a dry place because they swell rapidly upon contact with
REVERSIBLE FENCE FOR 45° AND 90° CUTS
Your biscuit joiner has a reversible fence. By loosening the height adjustment knobs, the fence can be removed through key hole slots. Once removed, it can be rotated 180° changing the angle of cut from 90° to 45° or vice versa. The height of the fence at 90° can be set between 0 to 3/4 in. from the center of the blade. The height of the fence at 45° can be set between 5/16 in. to 13/16 in. from the center of the blade.
The fence should always be used to guide and balance your biscuit joiner, providing ease of operation and maintaining safe control.
NONSKID BACKING PAD
The fence on your biscuit joiner is padded with a nonskid backing pad to hold it stationary against the workpiece. It helps prevent skidding when making cuts. It also prevents marring of the workpiece from biscuit joiner when cutting.
#R2 = 9/32 in. x 3/4 in.

APPLICATIONS
(Use only for the purpose listed below)
■Cutting precise mating oval slots in hardwood, softwood, plywood, particle board, etc. for spline joinery applications.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your biscuit joiner has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your biscuit joiner does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT KNOB
A spring loaded depth adjustment knob makes it possible to make proper settings for three standard size biscuits. Fine adjustments to the cutting depth can be made with a knurled adjustment knob and jam nut located behind the depth adjustment knob. Once the correct depth setting has been made for one biscuit size, the other two depth settings will be automatically set.
O
INDICATOR MARKS
Centerline and line of cut indicator marks have been provided on your biscuit joiner. See Figure 2.
