6. ADJUSTABLE FENCE SQUARENESS
To adjust the squareness of the adjustable fence to the front of the
unit, loosen the angle indicating pointer screw, and while holding a
square in contact between the adjustable fence and the front of
the unit, tighten the lock knob. Carefully place the indicator against
the stop on the 90 degree end of the angle scale and retighten the
screw. When the angle indicator is against the stop, the pointer
will indicate 90 degrees (see Figure 10).
7. BOTTOM REGISTRATION SURFACE
For certain applications, you will want to use the bottom surface of
the plate joiner for alignment. When using the bottom registration
surface, the adjustable fence should be set to 0° and the height
setting is unimportant. This surface is used primarily when making
'T' joints (see applications section). The distance between the
centerline of the blade and the bottom registration surface is fixed
at 3/8" (9.5mm) which allows centering on 3/4" (19mm) thick
stock. The 3 red marks on the bottom registration surface indicate
the centerline (or the deepest point) of the biscuit cut and the
approximate width of a #20 biscuit so that you'll know where the
edge of the blade is and can prevent breakthrough. To avoid
breaking through the workpiece, align the shoe so that neither
outside mark extends beyond the end of the workpiece. If either
side does, there is a good chance that the blade will break through
the surface and ruin your work.
8. DUST EXTRACTION
There are three options provided for collecting dust from your
plate joiner as described below.
A. Adjustable Direction Elbow (See Figure 11)
This attachment inserts into the dust exhaust port on the right
side at the rear of the base assembly and clicks into place. To
