FIG 8 3. FINE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
You may encounter situations where you want to leave a little
looseness in your joint so that you can move it slightly before the
glue sets up. For these instances a fine depth adjustment has been
provided. To adjust, you must first raise the adjustable fence to its
uppermost position. Then insert the T20 torx screwdriver provided
into the opening as shown in Figure 8. Turn the depth adjustment
screw clockwise for less depth and counterclockwise for increased
depth. Each full turn causes a change in depth of 1mm (0.04").
Always check the depth adjustment by first making test cuts in
scrap wood.

4. ALIGNMENT
If the adjustment fence becomes misaligned to the blade, use the
following procedure to realign: With the two support attachment
screws (located just above the anti-slippage pins) loosened,
adjust the support position to be flush to the bottom of the base.
Then carefully retighten the attachment screws (see Figure 9).
5. ANTI-SLIPPAGE PINS
Plate Joiners tend to slide to the right with respect to the workpiece
when making a cut. This tendency is increased with a dull blade
or when plunging very rapidly. Anti-slippage pins have been
provided to reduce this tendency and are located on the front

registration surface on either side of the blade opening slot. When
making some joints, you may wish to retract the anti-slippage pins
so as not to scratch your workpiece in a visible area. For this
purpose, simply rotate the anti-slippage pins approximately 1/6 of
a turn and they will retract back behind the front registration
surface. A flat blade screwdriver can be used to rotate the pins as
shown in Figure 9.
