• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any

other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool

serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.

Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on

another tool.

SERVICE

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in

the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow

maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

Additional Specific Safety Instructions

• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the

cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will

make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI

S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this

product may contribute to hearing loss.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.

To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with

approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter

out microscopic particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,

and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed

areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin

may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

Introduction

Examine Figure 1 and your plate joiner for a few minutes to become familiar with the various

features and the names used to describe them. The following sections will discuss the various

controls and you will need to know where they are.

Overview

You have purchased a precision woodworking tool. The function of the plate joiner is to

enable you to make extremely strong and accurate joints in wood and wood by products.

The tool works by a plunging action to precisely cut crescent shaped slots for the placement

of flat wooden dowels or “biscuits” like those shown in Figure 2.

The various adjustments on the patented base/fence assembly will enable you to make

virtually any biscuit joint imaginable. The tool may be further enhanced by some simple jigs

and fixtures that can be easily made. Some of the more common biscuit joinery applications

are shown in Figure 3 and are discussed in detail in the applications section of this manual.

Switch

Your plate joiner has a trigger switch located on the underside, as shown in Figure 1. To turn

the tool on, depress the trigger. To turn the tool off, release the trigger. To lock the tool on for

continuous operation, there is a lock on button located at the rear of the tool just above the

cord. When cutting always hold the tool with one hand on the switch handle and one hand on

the auxiliary handle. To lock the tool on, depress and hold the trigger as you depress the lock

button. Hold the lock button in as you gently release the trigger. The tool will continue to run.

To turn the tool off from a locked on condition, depress and release the trigger once.

Blade Replacement

In time your saw blade will wear out and need replacement. To remove the blade, follow the

steps below.

1. Turn off and unplug the plate joiner.

2. Remove the 4 torx head screws from the bottom of the shoe, using the T20 torx

screwdriver provided.

3. Rotate the shoe out of the way.

4. Use the spanner wrench provided to loosen (counterclockwise) the blade nut. Depress

the spindle lock pin on the top of the gear case to hold the spindle while you unscrew the

nut.

5. Remove the blade and have it sharpened or replace it with a new one.

6. Reinstall the blade by reversing the steps above. Be sure blade teeth point counterclockwise

as shown in Figure 4.

7. IMPORTANT: Always check the fine depth adjustment when sharpening or replacing the

blade. Adjust if necessary. (See "Controls" section).

The Controls

The heart of your plate joiner is the base/fence assembly. All of the controls that let you

make a variety of precision cuts are located on this assembly. Take a few minutes to become

familiar with the various controls.

ALWAYS TURN OFF AND UNPLUG PLATE JOINER BEFORE MAKING ANY

ADJUSTMENTS.

1. ADJUSTABLE FENCE

The adjustable fence provides a sturdy, precise reference surface to determine the point

at which the slots for the biscuits will be cut. Its adjustable height feature allows you

to position biscuit slots as close as 3/16" (4.76mm) and as distant as 1-3/8" (35mm)

measured from the workpiece surface to the centerline of the blade (see Figure 6). The

adjustable angle feature allows a full range of settings from 0° to 90 as well as a reverse

45° bevel which allows outside registration on miter joints. (See Applications section

under Miter Joints, Figure 26.)

The height adjustment is accomplished by first loosening the lock knob on the right side

of the fence and then rotating the knurled adjustment knob until the desired height is

reached (see Figure 5).

Tightening the lock knob will then automatically align the fence parallel to the blade and

lock it in position. The vertical scale and pointer located directly under the lock knob can

be used to assist in setting this height. The scale readings indicate distance from the

blade centerline to the fence surface when the fence is set at 90° (see Figure 6). The

fence angle can be set simply by loosening the lock knob on the left side of the tool,

aligning the protractor scale with the pointer and tightening the lock knob.

2. PLUNGE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

The depth of cut can be set to match the dimensions of the particular size biscuit you will

be using. The numbers on the depth adjustment knob (0,10,20,M) coincide with the three

sizes of biscuits shown in Figure 2. The letter M stands for the maximum depth capacity

of the tool which is 20mm (25/32"). This depth is obtainable only with a new blade and by

backing out the fine adjustment screw (see next section).

NOTE: The M setting has been provided for future use and will not be necessary for most

biscuiting operations. To select a depth, align the appropriate number with the red mark

scribed in the tool’s housing, as shown in Figure 7. Rotate the depth adjustment knob to

the desired position and it will “click” into place.

3. FINE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

You may encounter situations where you want to leave a little looseness in your joint so

that you can move it slightly before the glue sets up. For these instances a fine depth

adjustment has been provided. To adjust, you must first raise the adjustable fence

to its uppermost position. Then insert the T20 torx wrench provided into the opening

as shown in Figure 8. Turn the depth adjustment screw clockwise for less depth and

counterclockwise for increased depth. Each full turn causes a change in depth of 1mm

(0.04"). Always check the depth adjustment by first making test cuts in scrap wood.

4. ANTI-SLIPPAGE PINS

Plate Joiners tend to slide to the right with respect to the workpiece when making a cut.

This tendency is increased with a dull blade or when plunging very rapidly. Anti-slippage

pins have been provided to reduce this tendency and are located on the front registration

surface on either side of the blade opening slot. When making some joints, you may wish

to retract the anti-slippage pins so as not to scratch your workpiece in a visible area. For

this purpose, simply rotate the anti-slippage pins approximately 1/6 of a turn and they will

retract back behind the front registration surface. A flat blade screwdriver can be used to

rotate the pins as shown in Figure 9.

5. BOTTOM REGISTRATION SURFACE

For certain applications, you will want to use the bottom surface of the plate joiner for

alignment. When using the bottom registration surface, the adjustable fence should

be set to 0° and the height setting is unimportant. This surface is used primarily when

making ‘T’ joints (see applications section). The distance between the centerline of the

blade and the bottom registration surface is fixed at 3/8" (9.5mm) which allows centering

on 3/4" (19mm) thick stock. The 3 red marks on the bottom registration surface indicate

the centerline (or the deepest point) of the biscuit cut and the approximate width of a #20

biscuit so that you’ll know where the edge of the blade is and can prevent breakthrough.

To avoid breaking through the workpiece, align the shoe so that neither outside mark

extends beyond the end of the workpiece. If either side does, there is a good chance that

the blade will break through the surface and ruin your work.

6. DUST EXTRACTION

There are three options provided for collecting dust from your plate joiner as described

below.

A. Adjustable Direction Elbow (See Figure 10)

This attachment inserts into the dust exhaust port on the right side at the rear of the

base assembly and clicks into place. To remove, pull out firmly. The directional elbow

rotates easily to aim the dust in the most convenient direction suitable for the particular

application.

General Safety Instructions

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to fol low all in struc tions

listed be low may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust

or fumes.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified

electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the

tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance

path to carry electricity away from the user. Applicable only to Class I (grounded)

tools.

• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than

the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not

fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified

electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double

insulation

eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded

power supply system. Applicable only to Class II (double insulated) tools.

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

• Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from

an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace

damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A”

or “W.” These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your

product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss

of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending

on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The

smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or

medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious

personal injury.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your

hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long

hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be

avoided.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with

your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key

that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and

balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,

hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable

platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss

of control.

• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the

job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments,

changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce

the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
