Positioning Tool
The doweling jointer should always be
positioned perpendicular to the workpiece
in order to accurately drill joining surfaces
(see Figure 19).
We recommend using the weight of the
machine to assist with alignment and
guide the direction of operation.
Figure 19. Tool positioned perpendicular
to workpiece.
If holes need to be drilled too far from an
edge to use the fence, set the fence angle
to 0º so that the fence and tool face are
flush (see Figure 20). The doweling jointer
can then be positioned freely.
ALWAYS ensure tool is secure before
starting drilling operations.

workpiece.
