DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENTSYour Biscuit Joiner can be adjusted to threestandard cutting depths to accommodate threestandard size biscuits -- R1, R2, and R3.Adjustments are made by engaging slots on depthadjustment knob with tabs on rear base. Forexample, when using a R1 size biscuit, rotate thedepth adjustment knob until the slot marked 1 alignswith the depth indicator mark on the rear base.When using a R2 size biscuit, rotate the depthadjustment knob until the slot marked 2 aligns withthe depth indicator mark on the rear base, andwhen using a R3 size biscuit rotate the depthadjustment knob until the slot marked 3 aligns withthe depth indicator mark on the rear base. SeeFigure 3.TO SET DEPTH ADJUSTMENT KNOB• Unplug your Detail Biscuit Joiner.,_ WARNING: Failure to unplug Biscuit Joinercould result in accidental starting causing pos-sible serious personal injury.• Pull knurled adjustment knob and jam nut in thedirection of the arrow shown in figure 3.DEPTHINDICATORMARKROTATETODESIREDSETTING1,2, OR3PULLANDHOLDTOROTATEDEPTHADJUSTMENTKNOBREARBASERELEASETO APPLYPRESSUREAGAINSTDEPTHADJUSTMENTKNOBKNURLEDADJUSTMENTf KNOS_, DEPTHADJUSTMENTKNOBFig. 3Note: Knob and jam nut are spring loaded, there-fore pulling them in the direction of the arrowshown puts pressure on the spring and releasespressure from the depth adjustment knob.• Rotate depth adjustment knob until desired slotsetting aligns with tabs on rear base -- 1, 2, or 3.• Next release knurled adjustment knob and jam nutapplying pressure from spring on depth adjustmentknob.Make a test cut in a scrap piece of wood. Fit thecorrect size biscuit into biscuit slot. If biscuit slot is toodeep or too shallow, fine adjustments to the depthsetting can be made by loosening knurled adjustmentknob and making fine adjustments with the jam nut.Turning jam nut forward wilt cut shallow biscuit slots.Turning jam nut backwards will cut deeper biscuitslots. The biscuit slot should be deep enough to allowslightly more than one-half of the biscuit into the slot.This extra room allows for proper alignment of thewood being joined.TO MAKE FINE ADJUSTMENTSSee Figure 4.• Unplug your Detail Biscuit Joiner.\TURN FORWARDBISCUITSLOTSTURN BACKWARDSFORDEEPERBISCUITSLOTSKNURLEDADJUSTMENTKNOBUSEDAS A LOCK NUT.JAM NUTUSEDTO MAKEFINEADJUSTMENTS.Fig. 4• Loosen knurled adjustment knob. This knob isused as a lock nut only. Loosen by twisting it in theopposite direction away from jam nut.• Turn jam nut forward (clockwise) for a moreshallow cut, or backwards (counterclockwise) fora deeper cut.• Once desired depth of cut is reached, hold jam nutso that it will not move out of adjustment. Next,tighten knurled adjustment knob against jam nut.• Recheck depth setting by making a test cut in ascrap piece of wood. Also periodically check depthsetting for accuracy. See Figure 4.10 |
