settings from 0° to 90 as well as a reverse 45° bevel which allows
outside registration on miter joints. (See Applications section
under Miter Joints, Figure 26.)
The height adjustment is accomplished by first loosening the lock
knob on the right side of the fence and then rotating the knurled
adjustment knob until the desired height is reached (see Figure 5).
Tightening the lock knob will then automatically align the fence
parallel to the blade and lock it in position. The vertical scale and
pointer located directly under the lock knob can be used to assist
in setting this height. The scale readings indicate distance from the
blade centerline to the fence surface when the fence is set at 90°
(see Figure 6). The fence angle can be set simply by loosening the
lock knob on the left side of the tool, aligning the protractor scale
with the pointer and tightening the lock knob.
2. PLUNGE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The depth of cut can be set to match the dimensions of the
particular size biscuit you will be using. The numbers on the depth
adjustment knob (0,10,20,M) coincide with the three sizes of
biscuits shown in Figure 2. The letter M stands for the maximum
depth capacity of the tool which is 20mm (25/32"). This depth is
obtainable only with a new blade and by backing out the fine
adjustment screw (see next section).
NOTE: The M setting has been provided for future use and will not
be necessary for most biscuiting operations. To select a depth,
align the appropriate number with the red mark scribed in the
tool's housing, as shown in Figure 7. Rotate the depth adjustment
knob to the desired position and it will "click" into place.
3. FINE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
You may encounter situations where you want to leave a little
looseness in your joint so that you can move it slightly before the
glue sets up. For these instances a fine depth adjustment has
been provided. To adjust, you must first raise the adjustable fence
to its uppermost position. Then insert the T20 torx wrench
provided into the opening as shown in Figure 8. Turn the depth
