DOUBLE INSULATION Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three- wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.

The biscuit joiner has an 8-tooth carbide-tipped blade for cutting biscuit slots. NON-SKID SURFACE The fence on the biscuit joiner has a non-skid surface to help prevent misalignment caused by skidding during use. It also prevents marring of the workpiece when making cuts.
Page 10: Assembly
INSTALLING/REMOVING THE DUST BAG See Figure 2. The dust bag located on the rear of the biscuit joiner pro- vides a dust collection system. Wood particles are drawn up through the base and collect in the dust bag during cutting operations.
Page 11: Operation
A greater surface area is exposed to glue in a biscuit joint, making the seams stronger. A variety of spline joints can be made using the biscuit joiner. The number and size biscuits needed for each joint depends on the thickness of the wood and the length of the joint.
Page 12 DEPTH OF CUT The biscuit joiner can be adjusted to three standard cutting depths to accommodate three standard size biscuits — #0, #10, and #20. Adjustments are made by engaging slots on the depth adjustment knob with tabs on the rear base as- sembly.
Page 13 Tighten the locking knob securely. FENCE ANGLE The adjustable fence on the biscuit joiner can be set at angles ranging from 0° to 135°, with accurate positive stops set in 45° increments. A scale is located on each side of the adjustable fence for identifying these positive stop angles.
Page 14 Clamp the workpiece securely so that it will not move during the cut. n Plug the biscuit joiner into the power supply and prepare to make the first cut. Grasp and hold the biscuit joiner securely with both hands.

Page 16 NOTE: Measure twice and cut once. In addition to the centerlines lining up, the spacing of the biscuit slots from side-to-side must also match. n Plug the biscuit joiner into the power supply and cut slots in all boards that require end slots. Follow the procedures explained in “Edge-To-Edge Joints.”...
Page 17 Clamp the workpiece securely. n Cut each slot at the marked centerline intersection. n Place the biscuit joiner on a vertical board and align the indicator marks on the base assembly with the centerline on the vertical board.
Page 18 Align the indicator mark on the fence with the centerline on the workpiece. n Plug the biscuit joiner into the power supply and prepare to cut the slot. n Depress the switch trigger to turn on the biscuit joiner, then push it forward to extend the blade into the wood.

Page 21 n Place a screwdriver in the hole provided in the bearing plate. n Place one of the non-cutting teeth located behind each carbide-tipped cutting tooth against the screwdriver or pin and lock the blade to prevent it from rotating. DO NOT lock the blade against one of the cutting teeth.
Page 22 See Figures 25 - 27. After extended use, wood particles and resin may build up inside the base assembly of your biscuit joiner and clog the path for wood particles going into dust bag. Wood particles packing up in this area not only defeats the dustless feature of your biscuit joiner, it also makes cutting biscuit slots more difficult.
Page 23 Replace the dust bag. CLEANING THE DUST BAG See Figure 28. n Unplug the biscuit joiner. n Remove the dust bag. n Slide the clip off the end of the dust bag. n Thoroughly clean the dust bag by shaking out all debris.
