• Position the saw blade (18) on the flange (17).
• Be aware that the arrow on the sawblade indi-
cates the same direction as the arrow on the
inside of the housing.
• Place the flange nut (17) on the spindle and
tighten it with the wrench.
• Take care the flange nut (17) will be placed the
correct way: The collar side must fit inside the
saw blade bore, the flat side must be pointing
upwards.
• Release the spindle lock and check that the
spindle is unlocked by rotating it.
• Assemble the bottom plate (20) again and fix
the 4 screws.
Make sure that the top of the base plate is
securely closed before operating the
machine.
Mounting the dust bag (Fig. A)
• For dust extraction the dust bag (13) can be
used. Connect the dust extraction adapter (12)
to the machine, then connect the dust bag (13)
to the adapter.
• Empty the dust bag regularly so that the vacu-
uming performance remains intact.
• A vacuum cleaner can be directly connected
to the dust extraction adapter when use of a
vacuum cleaner is preferred.
4. OPERATION
Never use the spindle lock while the
machine is running.
Switching on and off (Fig. A)
• To switch the machine on slide the on/off
switch (1) forwards.
• To switch the machine off, depress the on/off
switch (1), the switch will automatically move to
the 'off' position.
Never use the spindle lock to stop the
motor.
Marking the workpiece (Fig. E)
Before starting with the Biscuit Jointer the work-
pieces must be marked as following.
• Place the two surfaces which must be connec-
ted, with their connecting side to each other.
WWW.VONROC.COM
• Clamp the work pieces and mark the center of
the groove by drawing a perpendicular line
• Several joints will be required for larger work-
pieces. The distance between two drawn lines
should be at least 10cm.
Sawing grooves (Fig. F)
• Set and check the cutting depth on the machine.
• Set the angle on the machine.
• Set the height on the machine, take care for
setting the height, the groove for the biscuit
dowel must be in the middle of the workpiece.
• Make sure the workpiece is securely clamped.
• Position the machine on the workpiece, the
marked centerline (15) must be in line with the
line drawn on the workpiece.
• Hold the machine with both hands and switch
the machine on.
• Push the motor base carefully forward as far as
possible.
• Move the motor base backward and switch the
machine off.
For workpieces thinner than 16 mm it is not
possible to cut the groove in the middle of
the workpiece without adding an adjust-
ment plate below your workpiece (fig. G).
Joining the workpieces
When the grooves in both workpieces have been
made the workpieces can be joined together.
• Put glue in both grooves.
• Place the biscuit dowel in the groove of one
workpiece.
• Place the other workpiece on the biscuit dowel.
• Fasten the workpieces and wait till the glue is dry.
User tip for connecting two workpieces
• Saw a groove as big as one biscuit into the first
workpiece
• Place the biscuit with good glue (according the
material) into the groove
• Saw a longer groove into the other workpiece
• Now both workpieces can be positioned easily
towards each other (clearance to correct)
• Fasten the workpieces and wait till the glue is dry.
Move the machine in the same direction as
the direction of rotation. See arrow on top
of the machine.
