FEATURES
WARNING:
Your detail biscuit joiner should never be connected to power supply when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, assembling or removing blades, cleaning or when not in use. Disconnecting your detail biscuit joiner will
prevent accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury.
Fig. 1
Your detail biscuit joiner has been designed for making fast,
accurate, and simple plunge cuts in wood, etc. so that
biscuits can be used to join two or more boards together.
When used properly and only for what it is intended, this
versatile tool will give you years of trouble-free performance.
It is professionally engineered, but its ease of operation
allows the amateur to produce beautiful and precise work.
SWITCH
To turn your biscuit joiner ON, depress the switch trigger.
Release switch trigger to turn your biscuit joiner OFF.
MOTOR
Your biscuit joiner has a powerful motor with sufficient power
to handle tough cutting jobs. It develops a no load speed of
19,000 RPM.
BLADE
Your biscuit joiner has a 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) 6 tooth blade for
cutting biscuit slots.
BISCUITS
See Figure 1.
Biscuits are available in three standard sizes:
#R1 (7/32 in. x 5/8 in.)
#R2 (9/32 in. x 3/4 in.)
#R3 (1/2 in. x 1 in.)
NOTE: Store biscuits in a dry place because they swell
rapidly upon contact with water-based woodworking glues.
REVERSIBLE FENCE FOR 45° AND 90° CUTS
Your biscuit joiner has a reversible fence. By loosening the
height adjustment knobs, the fence can be removed through
key hole slots. Once removed, it can be rotated 180° changing
the angle of cut from 90° to 45° or vice versa. The height of
the fence at 90° can be set between 0 to 3/4 in. from the
center of the blade. The height of the fence at 45° can be set
between 5/16 in. to 13/16 in. from the center of the blade.
The fence should always be used to guide and balance your
biscuit joiner, providing ease of operation and maintaining
safe control.
NONSKID BACKING PAD
The fence on your biscuit joiner is padded with a nonskid
backing pad to hold it stationary against the workpiece. It
helps prevent skidding when making cuts. It also prevents
marring of the workpiece from biscuit joiner when cutting.
INDICATOR MARKS
Centerline and line of cut indicator marks have been provided
on your biscuit joiner.
See Figure 2.
APPLICATIONS
(Use only for the purpose listed below)
■ Cutting precise mating oval slots in hardwood, softwood,
plywood, particle board, etc. for spline joinery applications.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your biscuit joiner has a precision built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts,
60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not
operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage
drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat.
If your biscuit joiner does not operate when plugged into an
outlet, double-check the power supply.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT KNOB
A spring loaded depth adjustment knob makes it possible to
make proper settings for three standard size biscuits. Fine
adjustments to the cutting depth can be made with a knurled
adjustment knob and jam nut located behind the depth
adjustment knob. Once the correct depth setting has been
made for one biscuit size, the other two depth settings will be
automatically set.
