FENCE HEIGHT
The adjustable fence on the biscuit joiner can be moved
up or down to adjust the position of the blade in relation
to the top of the workpiece. A scale on each side of the
fence indicates the height of the fence from the center of
the blade. The fence can be positioned up to two inches
from the center of the blade. However, the scale and indi-
cator point can only be set up to 2 in. from the center of
the blade. Scale marks are in increments of 1/16 in.
SETTING THE FENCE HEIGHT
See Figure 7.
• Unplug the biscuit joiner.
• Loosen the locking knob approximately one turn.
• Move the fence up or down by rotating the height
adjustment knob until the indicator point is aligned with
the desired dimension on the scale.
• 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 front handle for identifying these positive stop
angles. Each stop reached when rotating the adjustable
fence from one angle setting to another equals a 45 ° posi-
tive stop angle change.

• Loosen the locking knob approximately one turn.
• Rotate the fence to the desired angle.
