• To switch the machine off, depress the on/off
switch, the switch will automatically move to
the 'off' position.
Never use the spindle lock to stop the
motor.
Marking the workpieces
Fig. F
Before starting with the Biscuit Jointer the
workpieces must be marked as following.
• Place the two workpieces, which must be
connected, on top of each other.
• Fasten the workpieces and mark the center of
the groove.
• The space between two grooves should be
10-15 cm, this doesn't concerns for smaller
workpieces. Smaller workpieces don't have to
be marked.
Positioning of the machine
Based on the size of the workpieces the machine
can be positioned in several ways.
Large workpieces
Fig. G
• Place the machine near the workpiece.
• The middle of the base plate (this point is
marked on the base plate) must facing the
centre of the groove in the workpiece (see
marking the workpiece).
Small workpieces
Fig. H
• Place the machine near the workpiece.
• The side of the machine must be facing the
side of the workpiece.
Workpieces thinner than 16 mm
Fig. I
• Place the machine near the workpiece.
• Place the adjustment plate (5) on the angle
stop (4).
• Take care for setting the height, the groove for
the biscuit dowel must be in the middle of the
workpiece.
For workpieces thinner than 16 mm it is not
possible to make the groove for the biscuit dowel
in the middle of the workpiece without the aid of
the adjustment plate.
Sawing grooves
• Move the motor base backward.
• Place the machine near the workpiece.
• Position the machine (see positioning of the
machine)
• Hold the machine with both hands and switch
the machine on.
• Push the motor base carefully forward as far
as possible.
• Move the motor base backward and switch
the machine off.
Move the machine in the same direction
as the direction of rotation. See arrow
on top of the machine (16).
Joining the workpieces
When the grooves in both workpieces have been
made the workpieces can be joined together.
• Put glue in both grooves.
• Place the biscuit dowel in the groove of one
workpiece.
• Place the other workpiece on the biscuit
dowel.
• Fasten the workpieces and wait till the glue is
dry.
User tip for connecting two workpieces
Fig. K
• Saw a groove as big as one biscuit into the
first workpiece
• Place the biscuit with good glue (according
the material) into the groove
• Saw a longer groove into the other workpiece
• Now both workpieces can be positioned easily
towards each other (clearance to correct)
• Fasten the workpieces and wait till the glue is
dry
Checking the cutting depth
Fig. J
Always check the cutting depth after mounting a
saw blade.
• Disconnect the plug from the socket.
• Move the motor base (15) as far as possible
backwards.
• Set the cutting depth in the maximum position
by turning the depth adjustment knob (7).
• Move the motor base forwards till the pin (A)
will fall in the notch of the adjustment knob (7).
