Makita DPJ180 Manuel D'instruction page 10

To make joints, proceed as follows:
1. Fit the two workpieces together as they will appear
in the finished joint position.
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
(2") from the outer edge of the workpieces.
• Allow 100 mm - 150 mm (4"-6") between
grooves in multiple biscuit application.
3. For Corner Joint and T-Butt Joint only
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 biscuit 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.
7. Switch on the tool and gently push it forward to
extend the blade into the workpiece.
8. Gently return the tool to the original position after
the adjusting screw reaches the stopper.
9. For Corner Joint and T-Butt Joint only
Clamp the horizontal workpiece to the
workbench.
For Miter Joint only
Clamp the other workpiece to the workbench
with the mitered edge facing up.
For Frame Joint and Edge-To-Edge Joint only
Clamp the other workpiece to the
workbench.
10. For Corner Joint only
Place the tool on the workpiece so that the
blade is facing down.
For T-Butt Joint only
Remove the angle guide from the tool. Place
the tool on the workpiece so that the blade is
facing down.
11. Repeat the steps 6 - 8 to groove in the horizontal
or the other workpiece.
If you do not need to center the blade in the board
thickness, proceed as follows:
For Corner Joint, Miter Joint, Frame Joint and
Edge-To-Edge Joint only
• Remove the angle guide from the tool. Set the
fence at 90° for Corner Joint, Frame Joint and
Edge-To-Edge Joint or at 45° for Miter Joint.
• Follow steps 1 - 11 excluding steps 5 and 10
described above.
For T-Butt Joint only
• Fit the two workpieces together as they will appear
in the finished joint position.
• Lay the vertical workpiece on the horizontal one.
Clamp both workpieces to the workbench.
• Remove the angle guide from the tool.
• Follow the steps 2, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 11 described
above.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
the battery cartridge is removed before attempt-
ing to perform inspection or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
