Typical Joiner Applications
Miter Joints T-Joints Edge to Edge Cuts Butt Joints
Marking Slot Locations for Standard Cuts
1. Always begin with the Joiner base cutting into the end of the wood, rather than the
face as illustrated below.
2. Mark the center of slot at a point as least 2-1/2 inches from outer edge of the board.
Allow at least 1 inch between slots in multiple plate applications for best results. Mark
all slots on both boards at the same time to assure proper alignment.
3. Align center line on face plate with the pencil mark on wood as illustrated below.
4. Grasp the tool with both hands, turn power On and push the tool forward smoothly.
When Joiner base assembly has butted completely against wood surface to be cut,
pull back and then turn power Off.
