CUTTING VERTICAL BOARDS FOR T-JOINTS
See Figure 19.
• With the tool unplugged and the fence removed, place
the detail biscuit joiner on a vertical board and align the
indicator marks on the bottom shoe with the centerline
on the vertical board.
• Place a straight piece of wood on the vertical board
and securely clamp it flush against the bottom shoe.
This piece of wood is used for a fence or guide. It must
be square with the sides of the vertical board and par-
allel with the centerline.

• When the base assembly bottoms out against the
depth of cut adjustment knob setting, pull back, releas-
ing pressure on the spring. The blade will retract from
the biscuit slot.
• Repeat this procedure for cutting all required slots in
vertical boards.
• Once all slots have been cut, place a biscuit in each
joint and dry-assemble the workpieces. Make sure
each joint lines up and fits.
• Disassemble the workpieces and place a bead of glue
in each slot. Spread a bead of glue over the entire
surface of the joint. Reinsert the biscuits and assemble
the workpieces.
• Clamp the workpieces together until the glue sets.
Upon completion of a T-joint cutting operation, reinstall the
fence on the front base by reversing "To Remove Fence"
procedure.
• Place the height adjustment knob bolts in the key hole
slots.
• Align bolt heads with the slots on the back of the front
base.
• Slide the fence up the front base to the desired depth
of cut.
• Tighten the height adjustment knobs securely.

maximum speed, then gradually push the biscuit joiner
forward to extend the blade into the wood.
