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 F

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

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 F
