2. Mark the center of the intended biscuit grooves on
the workpiece using a pencil.
NOTE:
• The center of grooves should be at least 50 mm from
the outer edge of the workpieces.
• Allow 100 mm – 150 mm between grooves in multiple
biscuit application.

Clamp the vertical workpiece to the workbench.
For Miter Joint only
Clamp one workpiece to the workbench with the
mitered edge facing up.
For Frame Joint and Edge-To-Edge Joint only
Clamp one workpiece to the workbench.
4. Set the depth of groove according to the size of bis-
cuit to be used. Refer to the table in the "Adjusting
the depth of groove" section.
5. Adjust the angle guide height so that the blade is
centered in the board thickness.
6. Align the center mark on the base with the pencil
line on the workpiece.

extend the blade into the workpiece.
8. Gently return the tool to the original position after the
adjusting screw reaches the stopper.

If you do not need to center the blade in the board thick-
ness, proceed as follows:
For Corner Joint, Miter Joint, Frame Joint and
Edge-To-Edge Joint only

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform
inspection or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
The tool and its air vents have to be kept clean. Regularly
clean the tool's air vents or whenever the vents start to
become obstructed. (Fig. 28)
Replacing carbon brushes
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes. (Fig. 29)
Insert the top end of slotted bit screwdriver into the notch
in the tool and remove the holder cap cover by lifting it
up. (Fig. 30)
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps. (Fig. 31)
Reinstall the holder cap cover on the tool.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
