Dustbag
• Insert the straight adapter (13) into the dust extraction outlet (5).
• Attach the dustbag (15) to the adapter.
• Whenever possible, connect a dust extraction device designed in
accordance with the relevant regulations regarding dust emission.
Instructions for use
Always observe the safety instructions and applicable
regulations.
Switching ON and OFF (fig. B)
• To run the tool, press the ON/OFF-switch (1).
• If necessary, press the lock-on button (2) for continuous operation and
release the switch.
• To stop the tool, release the switch.
• To stop the tool in continuous operation, press the switch briefly and
release it. Always switch OFF the tool when work is finished and before
unplugging.
Do not switch the tool ON or OFF when the blade touches the
workpiece or other materials.
Making biscuit joints
General (fig. L)
Various techniques can be used to make strong and accurate biscuit
joints. In this manual, the most important techniques will be discussed in
more detail.
Selecting the biscuit size (fig. M)
The three biscuit sizes are #0, #10 and #20. Normally, you should use the
largest biscuit that will fit in the workpiece.
• After selecting the size of biscuit to be used, adjust the plunge depth
accordingly as described above.
Always make a trial cut in a piece of scrap wood to check the
plunge depth. If necessary, perform a fine adjustment as
described above.
Locating the biscuits (fig. N1 - N4)
• For edge joints, biscuits should normally be located at 15 - 25 cm
intervals.The outer biscuits should be located 5 - 7.5 cm from the ends
of the workpiece (fig. N1).
• When joining narrow workpieces such as picture frames, even the
smallest biscuits may be too large for the joint. In this case, the
exposed tip of the biscuit should be trimmed off after the joint has been
glued (fig. N2).
• When joining workpieces thicker than approx. 2.5 cm, pairs of biscuits
may be used for additional strength (fig. N3).
• To mark mating pieces, first position them as they will be assembled.
Use a set square to draw the marking line across the pieces (fig. N4).
Cutting biscuit slots (fig. P)
• Adjust the tool settings as described above.
• Align the centre marking on the tool base with the marking line as
shown.
• Switch the tool on and wait a second for the cutter attain full speed.
• Firmly push the fence against the workpiece and plunge the cutter until
the stop is reached.
• Allow the tool to retract the blade from the workpiece.
• Turn the tool off.

Assembling the workpieces
• Try assembling the workpieces together to check that the joints fit
correctly.
• Evenly spread a suitable glue in the biscuit slots and on the mating
surfaces of the joint.
• Insert the biscuits into the slots, ensuring that they come into contact
with the glue.
• Assemble the workpieces and clamp them until the glue has dried.
Edge to edge joints (fig. Q1 & Q2)
• Place the workpieces on a flat surface as they are to be assembled.
• Mark the biscuit centres. The biscuits should be located at 15 - 25 cm
intervals; the outer biscuits should be located 5 - 7.5 cm from the ends
of the workpiece (fig. Q1).
• Set the fence to 90°.
• Set the height adjuster to position the biscuit in the centre of the
workpiece.
• Adjust the other tool settings as described above.
• Cut the biscuit slots as described above (fig. Q2).
Frame joints (fig. R1 - R3)
• Place the workpieces on a flat surface as they are to be assembled
(fig. R1 & R2).
• Select the appropriate biscuit size.
• Mark the biscuit centres.
• Adjust the tool settings as described above.
• Cut the biscuit slots as described above (fig. R3).
Corner joints (fig. S1 & S2)
• Arrange the workpieces as they are to be assembled (fig. S1).
• Select the appropriate biscuit size.
• Mark the biscuit centres.
• For the face cut, clamp the workpiece and align the tool as shown (fig. S2).
• Cut the biscuit slots as described above.
Offset joints (fig. T)
When joining two workpieces of different thickness, proceed as follows:
• Arrange the workpieces as they are to be assembled.
• Select the appropriate biscuit size.
• Mark the biscuit centres.
• Select the workpiece that will be set back.
• Set the height adjuster to position the biscuit in the centre of the
workpiece.
• Cut the biscuit slots as described above.
• Adjust the fence up by a distance equal to the desired offset.
Use the scale to read the setting.
• Cut the biscuit slots as described above.
Edge mitre joints (fig. U1 - U4)
Outside surfaces aligned (fig. U1)
• Arrange the workpieces as they are to be assembled.
• Mark the biscuit centres on the outside of the joint.
• Set the fence angle to 90°.
• Adjust the fence to locate the biscuit toward the inside of the joint where
the workpiece is thicker. Select the appropriate biscuit size (fig. U2).
• Clamp the workpiece and align the tool as shown (fig. U3).
• Cut the biscuit slots as described above.
Inside surfaces aligned
• Arrange the workpieces as they are to be assembled.
• Mark the biscuit centres on the inside of the joint.
• Set the fence angle to 45°.
• Adjust the fence to locate the biscuit toward the inside of the joint
where the workpiece is thicker. Select the appropriate biscuit size.
