Set up the joiner for the appropriate type of op-
eration as described throughout the remainder
of this section.
Make sure that the fence height and angle lock-
ing levers are properly tightened.
Install the power cord into the Plug-It recepta-
cle on the joiner (Refer to "Operation - Plug it
Power Cord").
Setting the Fence Angle

3-1
3-2
Some joints require the fence to be set to an angle
from the mortising bit. The most common applica-
tion is for making a mitered joint.
Unplug the joiner for saftey.
Loosen the clamp lever for the angle adjust-
ment [3-1].
Set the desired angle:
using the scale [3-2] variable from 0° to 90°.
locking at 0°; 22.5°; 45°; 67.5°; 90°.
Close the clamp lever [3-1].
Set the routing height and depth as low as
possible when mitre routing as otherwise
there is a risk that the cutter will come out
the other side.
The alignment of the clamp lever [3-1] can be
aligned by raising the levers. When tightened,
the levers should not protrude beyond the con-
tact surface.
Setting the Fence Height
The height of the fence needs to be adjusted de-
pending on the type of joint being made and the
thickness of the material being joined. The height h
is the distance between the bottom of the fence face
and the centerline of the mortising bit.
There are two features available for setting the
fence height:
