Dust bag
Fig.10
To attach the dust bag, fit it onto the dust nozzle. If the
dust bag becomes an obstacle to your work, turn the
dust nozzle to change the dust bag position.
When the dust bag is about half full, switch off and
unplug the tool. Remove the dust bag from the tool and
pull the bag's fastener out. Empty the dust bag by
tapping it lightly to remove as much of the dust as
possible.
NOTE:
If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your
•
plate joiner, more efficient and cleaner operations
can be performed.

To make joints, proceed as follows:
1. Fit the two workpieces together as they will
appear in the finished joint position.
2. Mark the center of the intended biscuit grooves on
the workpiece using a pencil.
NOTE:
The center of grooves should be at least 50
•
mm from the outer edge of the workpieces.
Allow 100 mm - 150 mm between grooves in
•
multiple biscuit application.
3. For Corner Joint and T-Butt Joint only
Clamp
workbench.
For Miter Joint only
Clamp one workpiece to the workbench with
the mitered edge facing up.
For Frame Joint and Edge-To-Edge Joint only
Clamp one workpiece to the workbench.
4. Set the depth of groove according to the size of
biscuit to be used. Refer to the table in the
"Adjusting the depth of groove" section.
5. Adjust the angle guide height so that the blade is
centered in the board thickness.
6. Align the center mark on the base with the pencil
line on the workpiece.
7. Switch on the tool and gently push it forward to
extend the blade into the workpiece.
8. Gently return the tool to the original position after
the adjusting screw reaches the stopper.
9. For Corner Joint and T-Butt Joint only
Clamp the horizontal workpiece to the
workbench.
For Miter Joint only
Clamp the other workpiece to the workbench
with the mitered edge facing up.
For Frame Joint and Edge-To-Edge Joint only
Clamp the other workpiece to the workbench.
10. For Corner Joint only
Place the tool on the workpiece so that the
blade is facing down.
For T-Butt Joint only
Remove the angle guide from the tool. Place
the tool on the workpiece so that the blade is
facing down.
11. Repeat the steps 6 - 8 to groove in the horizontal
or the other workpiece.
If you do not need to center the blade in the board
thickness, proceed as follows:
For Corner Joint, Miter Joint, Frame Joint and
Edge-To-Edge Joint only
Remove the angle guide from the tool. Set the
