Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and

functions

• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing

or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool

Before Use

WARNING: Always disconnect this tool from the power supply before attaching or removing

accessories, or making any adjustments.

IMPORTANT: Ensure the blade is securely ﬁtted before ﬁrst use. See ‘Changing the saw blade’

Auxiliary Handle

• Fit the Auxiliary Handle (1) using the supplied Auxiliary Handle Bolts (22)

• Adjust the Auxiliary Handle (1) angle position by loosening the 2 Auxiliary Handle Bolts,

adjusting and re-tightening the bolts

Dust extraction

• This tool should be connected to a workshop dust extraction system or vacuum cleaner via

its Dust Port (15)

• If both are unavailable, the supplied dust bag needs to be ﬁtted, by pushing it on to the Dust

Port

Note: If using the dust bag, remove and clean out on a regular basis. Ideally, empty the dust

bag when it is half full.

Adjusting the depth of cut

The tool features a Turret Stop (11) with 6 depth positions (0, 10, 20, S, D & Max) and supports

a wide range of biscuit dowels or plates. See Biscuit guide below.

It is recommended to calibrate the tool using the size of biscuit you will mainly be using. A

typical biscuit size is #10.

1. Select position ‘10’ by rotating the Turret Stop (11) until ‘10’ is indicated by the Depth

Indicator (10)

2. Push forward on the Auxiliary Handle (1) until the Depth Stop (13) contacts the Turret Stop

(Image B) and measure the length of the exposed blade protruding from the Blade Slot

(28). Ensure one Blade Tooth Tip (34) is at the maximum distance from the slot by rotating

the Saw Blade (32) so a Blade Tooth Tip is in the middle then measure from this tip to the

surface of the Blade Slot

3. The measurement should be 10mm for #10 as indicated in the chart below. If different

loosen the Depth Stop Locking Nut (14) and adjust the Depth Stop to reduce or extend its

length to the required 10mm blade depth

4. Once correctly set tighten the Depth Stop Locking Nut

WARNING: Failure to correctly adjust the cutting depth could cause damage to the workpiece.

Note: The other depth positions on the Turret Stop will now be correctly set with the most

accurate being the position used for calibration.

Note: Always make a trial cut on scrap material to conﬁrm the settings.

• Measurements are approximate

Adjusting the cutting height

Note: The groove for the biscuit dowel is normally in the middle of the workpiece edge so the

cutting height needs to be adjusted to half the thickness of the material.

• The cutting height with the ﬁtted Fence (30) can be adjusted from 0 – 40mm.

1. Release the Fence Locking Knob (29)

2. Position the Fence at the required height using the Fence Height Scale (27)

3. Tighten the Fence Locking Knob to lock at the height required

Setting the fence angle

The Fence (30) has 90° of angle adjustment, with click-stops for quick and easy setting of 0°,

45° and 90° for angled cuts (image C).

To set the angle required:

1. Release the Angle Lock (4) by pulling it away from the Face (19)

2. Adjust the Face to the required angle using the Angle Scale (24) and Angle Indicator (25)

3. Tighten the Angle Lock so that the Fence is secured at the required angle

Note: Check the Fence is securely locked in position before cutting; failure to do so may result

in damage to the workpiece or the machine if it moves during use

Note: The Angle Scale is approximate only; use additional angle measuring equipment if

necessary, to check the fence angle

Operation

IMPORTANT: It is recommended to use two hands where possible when operating the tool.

Hold the Main Handle (18) of the jointer in one hand, with a ﬁnger resting comfortably on the

On/Off Trigger Switch (17) and with the other hand hold the Auxiliary Handle (1) so the tool is

securely held.

IMPORTANT: Check the guard mechanism is operating smoothly and correctly before actual

use.

Biscuit guide

Switching on and off

• To start the tool squeeze the On/Off Trigger Switch (17)

• Release the On/Off Trigger Switch to turn off

Notes:

• In order to cut biscuit slots into the workpiece as required, ﬁrst set up the tool according to

the ‘Before Use’ instructions (above), and prepare the workpiece(s) by marking in pencil at

the required cutting points (Fig. II)

• The tool features multiple indicators to assist in positioning the tool against the workpiece.

The Face Centre Indicator (5) and Fence Blade Centre Indicator (7) indicate the centre of

the blade. Two Fence Biscuit Edge Indicators (6 & 8) indicate the edge for larger biscuits

not the outer edges of the blade, this is indicated further back on the fence. A Centre Blade

Indicator (26) on the side of the base indicates the blade height position for the standard

4mm thickness blade

• It is important that the workpieces are accurately marked. It may be easier to loosely

assemble the two pieces together in exactly the required position and mark with a pencil

across both pieces, and then cut the slots. Assemble loosely again, with the ﬁrst biscuit

ﬁtted, before marking again where subsequent biscuits are required. Ideally a middle

position in the wood is preferable for the ﬁrst slot

• There is a tolerance when joining wood with biscuits as slots can be extended if necessary

but it is better to work accurately and measure frequently

• Dowels can be placed in a wide range of positions when joining wood pieces (Fig. I) and if

necessary where biscuits are needed on multiple faces enlarged wider slots (Fig. III) can be

used to allow a workpiece to connect on multiple sides more easily

• The workpiece will need to be clamped to the workbench, although it is possible the use of

a non-slip mat between the workpiece and workbench surface will be sufﬁcient in some

instances

1. Select the correct biscuit size on the Turret Stop (11)

2. Hold the body of the machine with one hand so that a ﬁnger rests on the On/Off Trigger

Switch (17)

3. Carefully align the tool markings with the pencil marks on the workpiece and position the

tool in readiness to cut the slot

4. Position the machine against the workpiece so that the Face (19) and the underside of the

Fence (30) are fully in contact with the workpiece

5. Press down on the front of the Fence with the ﬁngers of your other hand to hold the tool in

position, and check there are no gaps under the Face or underside of the Fence
