Adjustment of the cutting angle
(Figs. 4 + 5 / item 11)
For slots on inclined surfaces, e.g. for miter joints, the angle of the stop (11) can be adjusted accordingly.

• Undo the locking lever for angle adjustment (2).
• Caution! The angle is indicated by the marking (a).
• You can freely adjust the angle stop (11) to any required angle between 0° and 90°.
• Then retighten the locking lever for angle adjustment (2).

Note:
If the angle stop (11) is set to an angle of 90° then the height between the middle of the cutter and the angle stop (11) without the spacer plate (13) or height adjustment (14) is always 10 mm (see Fig. 6).

Spacer plate (Figs. 5-6 / item 13)
The spacer plate (13) also allows thin workpieces to be cut. If the angle stop (11) is set to an angle of 90° then the height between the middle of the cutter and the angle stop (11) is always 6 mm. See Fig. 6.
To do this, mount the spacer plate (13) on the angle stop (11) as shown in Fig. 5.
Note : The spacer plate (13) can also be used on miter joints in order to ensure that the slot is not cut too deep.
Height adjustment (Fig. 7 / item 14) With the height-adjustable stop (14)
it is also possible to work on thinner workpieces. The height between the middle of the cutter and the height-adjustable stop (14) can be adjusted between 0 mm and 40 mm.

• Undo the locking lever for the height-adjustable stop (15).
• Then insert the height-adjustable stop (14) as shown in Fig. 7.
• Adjust the required height on the height scale (22) by means of the adjustment screw (16). The arrow (a) indicates the set height. Note: The height of the slot should always be in the middle of the workpiece.
• Then retighten the locking lever for the height-adjustable stop (15) again.
• Caution! The height-adjustable stop (14) must only be used with a cutting angle of 0°.

Changing the cutter (Figs. 8-9)

• Danger! The plug must be disconnected from the mains supply.
• Remove the cover plate (10) by slightly loosening the socket head screw and then take off the cover plate (10).
  • Place the face spanner (8) on the flange (21).
  • Press the spindle lock (9); hold it pressed and turn the face spanner in the direction of rotation. After approximately half a turn the spindle lock (9) will engage and the flange (21) can be released.
  • Then release the cutter (20) from the housing.
  • As the next step, pull the cutter (20) out of the base plate (23).
  • Then insert the new cutter (20), following the above instructions in reverse. Check that the direction of rotation of the cutter is correct.
  • Secure the cover plate (10) again.
  • Danger: Never press the spindle lock (9) while the motor is running. Check that the cutter is stationary and securely seated before starting work.
  • Note: Do not use blunt or damaged disk cutters.

 Operation

• On/Off switch (Fig. 3; item 1)
  • To start the unit, slide the On/Off switch (1) forward and press it down. To switch off the biscuit jointer, depress the On/Off switch (1) at the back. The On/Off switch (1) will jump back into its starting position.

Marking a workpiece (Fig. 10)

• Before you start working with the biscuit jointer, the workpiece must be marked as follows:
  • Place the two parts side by side; the workpieces must be securely clamped.
  • Draw a line with a pencil at right angles to the joint.
  • Multiple joints will be required on longer pieces of wood.
  • The distance between two lines should be at least 10 cm.
• Note:
• On thicker workpieces you can create additional stability by cutting two slots one above the other; on thinner workpieces a single joint will be sufficient.
•  Positioning the biscuit jointer and cutting slots (Fig. 11)
• Cutting slots with an angle of 0° at a particular height
  • Adjust the angle stop (11) to 0° and then insert the height-adjustable stop (14).
  • Adjust the required height with the aid of the height-adjustable stop (14) (see 5.5).
  • Position the machine close to the workpiece.
  • There are markings (a) on the machine; these must line up with the line marked on the workpiece.
  • Then switch on the machine and push the handle (12) forward. The workpiece must be securely clamped when doing this.

Cutting slots with an angle between 0° and 90°

• Adjust the required cutting depth and check it (see 5.2).
• Adjust the required cutting angle using the angle stop (11) (see 5.3).
• Position the machine close to the workpiece.
• There are markings (a) on the machine; these must line up with the line marked on the workpiece.
• Then switch on the machine and push the handle (12) forward. The workpiece must be securely clamped when doing this.

CAUTION! The height-adjustable stop (14) must only be used with a cutting angle of 0°.
Connecting the workpieces (Figs. 12-13)

• Once you have cut a slot on both workpieces they can be connected.
• Apply glue in both slots.
• Insert the biscuit (a) into one of the slots (Fig. 12). ****
• Slide both workpieces together (Fig. 13). ****
• Clamp the workpieces and wait until the glue has set.

 Replacing the power cable

Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

Cleaning, maintenance and  ordering of spare parts

Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.
Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
