Installing and Removing the Battery Pack

(Fig. D1)



WARNING: Ensure the tool/appliance is in the off

position before inserting the batterypack.

NOTE: For best results, make sure your battery pack is

fullycharged.

To install the battery pack

12

into the tool handle, align the

battery pack with the rails inside the tool’s handle and slide

it into the handle until the battery pack is firmly seated in the

tool and ensure that it does notdisengage.

To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the release

button

13

and firmly pull the battery pack out of the tool

handle. Insert it into the charger as described in the charger

section of thismanual.

Proper Hand Position (Fig. D2)



WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal

injury, ALWAYS use proper hand position asshown.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal

injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a

Proper hand position requires one hand on the auxiliary

and adapt to your own applications. The following are some

basic set‑up steps that will apply to all biscuitjoints.

Biscuit Size Selection (Fig. E)

As mentioned earlier, the three biscuit sizes are #0, #10 and

#20. It is a good rule of thumb to use the largest biscuit

size that will physically fit in the application. Unless you are

joining narrow face or picture frames or using 1/2" (12mm)

or thinner stock, you will find the #20 biscuit size to suit

most applications. After selecting the biscuit size, set the

depth adjustment knob to the corresponding size (see

Controls section). Also, be sure the fine depth adjustment is

correctly set by first testing in a scrap piece. This is extremely

important as you do not want to discover during glue‑up

that your biscuit slots are not quite deepenough.

Biscuit Location and Layout (Fig. O–R)

Generally, biscuits may be spaced and located at your

discretion. For edge joints, a good rule of thumb is to space

biscuits every 6"–10" (150mm–255mm) on center. It is

further recommended that biscuits be placed so that the

centerline of the end biscuits is 2"–3" (50mm–75mm)

from the end of the workpiece. When joining face frames or

picture frames where the workpiece is narrow, you may have

to choose the smaller biscuit sizes to keep from “breaking

out” on the end of the joint. Breaking out should be avoided

if possible, but if not you can assemble the joint and trim

off the exposed biscuit tip after the glue sets (see Figure O).

When working with material up to 1" (25mm) thick, we

advise to use a single biscuit located in the approximate

center of the material thickness. If thicker stock is to be

joined, you may choose to use 2biscuits across the thickness

for greater strength (see Figure P). Biscuit locations should be

marked by first positioning the mating pieces exactly as they

are to be assembled. Next, make a mark at 90° to the joint

interface across both pieces at the desired biscuit locations

(see Figure Q). See Application section for more specific

information on joint layout. The marks you make will then be

aligned with one of the center registration marks on the tool,

again, depending upon your specificapplication.

Making the Cut

Prior to making any cut, be sure that all fence adjustments

are set and lock knobs are tight. Also, be sure you have

selected the proper depth setting. Clamp your workpiece

firmly and align the biscuit joiner’s center registration mark

with your layout mark. Turn on the tool and let the blade

come up to full speed (approximately 1second). Grasping

the switch handle and auxiliary handle and positioning the

fence firmly and squarely against the workpiece, plunge the

blade until it bottoms against the stop. Continuing to hold

the tool squarely and firmly, allow the return spring to retract

the blade from the work and then release the switch to shut

the tool off. It will take some practice to obtain a “feel” for the

tool to produce accurate joints, so practicing in scrap wood

first isadvisable.

Usage

Biscuit joiners are primarily used for making cabinetry and

furniture, joining millwork or other similar applications

where a strong, accurate joint is required in wood or wood

by‑products. There are literally hundreds of variations of

joints that can be made with your Biscuit joiner. We will limit

our discussion to six basic joints that can be used to build on

OPERATION



WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal

injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack

before making any adjustments or removing/

installing attachments or accessories. An

accidental start‑up can causeinjury.

3. Push the AirLock™ connector onto the adapter

connectorpoint.

4. Rotate the collar to the lockedposition.

NOTE: The ball bearings inside collar lock into slot and

secure the connection.The power tool is now securely

connected to the dustextractor.

NOTE: The sleeve of the dust extraction port can be

removed if damaged and replaced by the user. The

sleeve is available as an optional accessory and can be

replaced using ascrewdriver.

Dust Bag (Fig.N)

The dust bag

17

provided fits snugly over the straight

adaptor

15

described above. To empty the bag, open the

zipper underneath and dump dustout.

NOTE: When the bag becomes full, the dust will back‑up

into the adaptor and the exhaust port on the right rear of the

tool. To clean out, turn off, remove battery, disconnect from

the tool and remove packeddust.
