DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENTS
Your Biscuit Joiner can be adjusted to three
standard cutting depths to accommodate
three
standard size biscuits -- R1, R2, and R3.
Adjustments
are made by engaging slots on depth
adjustment
knob with tabs on rear base. For
example, when using a R1 size biscuit, rotate the
depth adjustment
knob until the slot marked 1 aligns
with the depth indicator mark on the rear base.
When using a R2 size biscuit, rotate the depth
adjustment
knob until the slot marked 2 aligns with
the depth indicator mark on the rear base, and
when using a R3 size biscuit rotate the depth
adjustment
knob until the slot marked 3 aligns with
the depth indicator mark on the rear base. See
Figure 3.

Note: Knob and jam nut are spring loaded, there-
fore pulling them in the direction of the arrow
shown puts pressure on the spring and releases
pressure from the depth adjustment knob.
•
Rotate depth adjustment knob until desired slot
setting aligns with tabs on rear base -- 1, 2, or 3.
•
Next release knurled adjustment knob and jam nut
applying pressure from spring on depth adjustment
knob.
Make a test cut in a scrap piece of wood. Fit the
correct size biscuit into biscuit slot. If biscuit slot is too
deep or too shallow, fine adjustments to the depth
setting can be made by loosening knurled adjustment
knob and making fine adjustments with the jam nut.
Turning jam nut forward wilt cut shallow biscuit slots.
Turning jam nut backwards will cut deeper biscuit
slots. The biscuit slot should be deep enough to allow
slightly more than one-half of the biscuit into the slot.
This extra room allows for proper alignment of the
wood being joined.

•
Loosen knurled adjustment knob. This knob is
used as a lock nut only. Loosen by twisting it in the
opposite direction away from jam nut.
•
Turn jam nut forward (clockwise)
for a more
shallow cut, or backwards
(counterclockwise)
for
a deeper cut.
•
Once desired depth of cut is reached, hold jam nut
so that it will not move out of adjustment. Next,
tighten knurled adjustment knob against jam nut.
•
Recheck depth setting by making a test cut in a
scrap piece of wood. Also periodically check depth
setting for accuracy. See Figure 4.
