(U.K. & Ireland Only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
• Safely dispose of the old plug.
• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in
the plug.
• Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.

Using an Extension Cable
If an extension cable is required, use an approved
extension cable suitable for the power input of this
tool (see technical data). The minimum conductor
size is 1 mm
2
; the maximum length is 30 m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable
completely.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury, turn unit off and disconnect
machine from power source before
installing and removing accessories,
before adjusting or changing set-
ups or when making repairs. Be sure
the trigger switch is in the OFF position.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Adjustable Fence (fi g. 3a, 3b)
The adjustable fence (f) allows you to precisely set
the point where the slots for the biscuits are cut. To
set the fence height:
1. Slacken the locking knob (i).
2. Set the height adjuster (d) as required. With the
fence set to 90°, the scale under the locking
knob reads the distance between the centre of
cutter and the surface of the fence.
3. Tighten the locking knob.
TO SET THE FENCE ANGLE
1. Slacken the star knob (k).
32
2. Tilt the fence into the required angle.
3. Tighten the star knob.
Jointer Base Markings
When working without the fence, for example when
making T-joints, you can use the markings on the
jointer base for proper alignment of the tool.
1. Set the fence to the 0° position as described
above.
2. For workpieces with a thickness of 19 mm, use
the edge of the base as a reference for centring.
3. For other workpieces, use the red centreline
markings to align the tool.
4. Two of the markings indicate the length of
the cut. In order to prevent breaking through
the workpiece, make sure that the workpiece
extends beyond these markings.
Plunge Depth Adjustment (fi g. 4)
The plunge depth must be set to match the biscuit
size. The numbers 0, 10 and 20 on the depth
adjusting knob correspond with the biscuit size. The
M represents the maximum cutting depth of approx.
22 mm.
– Turn the depth adjusting knob (h) into the
required position, aligning the appropriate
number with the red marking on the tool.
Plunge Depth Fine Adjustment
(fi g. 5)
The fine adjustment is used to eliminate possible
tolerances in the size of the biscuit slots.
1. Raise the fence (f) to its upper position as
described above.
2. Insert the hex screwdriver as shown and adjust
the plunge depth as required by turning the
screw (turn clockwise to decrease the plunge
depth).
3. Check the setting by making a trial cut in a
piece of scrap wood.
Anti-Slipping Pins (fi g. 6)
The anti-slipping pins (g) help to reduce the
tendency of the biscuit jointer to slide to the right
when cutting. When working on visible parts of the
workpiece, you may want to retract them in order to
avoid scratching.
1. To retract the pins, rotate them slightly
clockwise using a flat screwdriver.
2. To use the pins again, rotate them slightly
counterclockwise.
