WARNING:
Failure to unplug Plate Joiner
could result in accidental starting causing pos-
sible serious personal injury.
•
Pull knurled adiustment knobs in the direction of
the arrow shown in figure 3.
Note: Knobs are spring loaded, therefore pulling
them in the direction of the arrow shown puts
pressure on the spring and releases pressure from
the depth adiustment knob.

setting aligns with tabs on rear base -- 0, 10, or
20.

Next release knurled adiusknent Imob applyhg pressure
from spring on depth adiusknent Imob.
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 adiustments to the depth
setting can be made by loosening rear adjustment
knob and making fine adjustments with the front
adjustment knob. Turning front knob loP,yard will cut
shallow biscuit slots. Turning front knob 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.
