[. . . ] To select depth of cut, pull the knurled adjustment knob and jam nut in the direction of the arrow in figure 5. Pulling them in the direction of the arrow puts pressure on the spring and releases pressure from the depth adjustment knob. n Rotate the depth adjustment knob until the desired slot setting aligns with the tabs on the rear base assembly. KNURLED ADJUSTMENT KNOB JAM NUT TABS MAKING FINE ADJUSTMENTS See Figure 6. The biscuit slot should be deep enough to allow slightly more than one-half of the biscuit into the slot. If the biscuit slot is too deep or too shallow, fine adjustments to the depth setting can be made by loosening the knurled adjustment knob and making fine adjustments with the jam nut. Loosen by twisting it in the opposite direction away from the jam nut. n Rotate the jam nut to the right for a more shallow cut, or to the left for a deeper cut. n Once desired depth of cut is reached, hold the jam nut so that it will not move out of adjustment. n Recheck the depth setting by making a test cut in a scrap piece of wood. Rotating the jam nut to the left will cut deeper biscuit slots. DEPTH ADJUSTMENT KNOB Fig. 6 12 OPERATION 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. Scale marks are in increments of 1/16 in. INDICATOR HEIGHT SETTING SCALE POINT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT KNOB SETTING THE FENCE HEIGHT See Figure 7. n 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. n Tighten the locking knob securely. TO LOWER TO RAISE TO TIGHTEN FENCE ANGLE TO LOOSEN 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 adjustable fence for identifying these positive stop angles. Each stop reached when rotating the adjustable fence from one angle setting to another equals a 45° positive stop angle change. LOCKING KNOB ADJUSTABLE FENCE ANGLE SETTING SCALE Fig. n Tighten the locking knob securely. ROTATE ADJUSTABLE FENCE TO DESIRED ANGLE SETTING TO TIGHTEN TO LOOSEN Fig. Edge-to-edge joinery is one of the most basic and easilyconstructed joints. n Prepare the workpieces by laying them side by side on a workbench in the order in which they will be assembled. [. . . ] It may be helpful to use a mallet to lightly tap the area where the assemblies meet. n With the assemblies separated, clean wood particles and resin from the blade area, dust bag port, front and rear assemblies and all surrounding areas. n Apply a thin coat of general purpose grease in slots or tracks on the bearing plate where the base slides. Replace and tighten the screws that connect the front and rear base assemblies. [. . . ]
