[. . . ] Glue is applied and the biscuit inserted into the semicircular slot that is left by the blade. As the glue sets, it expands the biscuit, resulting in an extremely strong joint. The adjustable fence allows the height and angle of the blade to be positioned to suit different joint requirements. The depth of cut can be dialed up on the pre-set control dial, depending on the biscuit to be used. As with dowels, two biscuits can be used, one above the other, for extra strength. Fig. 3) The depth of cut can be set to match the dimensions of the particular size biscuit you use. The numbers on the depth selector (6) coincide with the three most common sizes of biscuits, 0-10-20. The letter "M" stands for maximum depth capacity of the tool (18 mm). To select a depth, align the appropriate number with the mark on the tool's housing. Rotate the depth adjustment dial to the desired position and it "clicks" into place. ADJUSTMENTS Before making any adjustments, unplug the tool. This allows cuts at 90 degrees to a cut height of a maximum of 35mm (1-3/8"). loosen the height lock knob (5) and rotate the height adjustment knob (10) to achieve the desired cut height. Tighten the height lock knob firmly using finger pressure only. Fig. 4) All biscuits are manufactured to slightly different sizes, so you might need to adjust the depth of cut on the tool. The depth adjustment rod (7) can be rotated to increase or decrease the depth of cut. OPERATION Making a Normal Biscuit Cut (Fig. 6~7) Position your work pieces together and draw a reference mark at 90o to the center point of each proposed joint location. Separate your work material and clamp each piece securely to a stable work bench or work table. Set the biscuit depth selector (6) to correspond with the size of biscuit you are using. If you are using stock that is 16mm thick or less, you will need smaller biscuits. Adjust the height of the fence as required and if using the fixed fence firmly tighten height lock knob (5) using finger pressure only. Place one hand on the handle (2) and the other hand on the motor housing (12). Place the cutting guide at the center point of each slot in turn and press the fence against the edge of the work piece (see figure 6).
