MARKING THE WORKPIECES
Before using the jointer the workpieces must be marked.
Refer to illustration below
-
Place the two workpieces, which are to be joined on
top of each other.
-
Clamp the workpieces and mark the centre of the
groove.
-
The space between the two grooves should be
10 –15mm, this doesn’t apply to smaller workpieces,
which don’t have to be marked.
POSITIONING THE MACHINE
Based on the size of the workpiece the jointer can be
positioned in several ways:
Large workpieces
-
Place the machine on the workpiece and line up the
centre point marked on the base plate with the cen-
tre of the groove as in illustration below.
Small workpieces
-
Place the machine on the workpiece; the side of the
machine must face the side of the workpiece as
illustrated below.
Thin workpieces (less than 16mm)
-
Place the machine on the workpiece as illustrated
below. Place the adjustment plate (5) on the angle
stop (4).
-
Take care setting the height; the groove must be in
the centre of the workpiece.
Sawing grooves
-
Move the motor body backwards
-
Position the machine on the workpiece.
-
Hold the machine with both hands and switch ON.
-
Push the motor base carefully forward as far as it will
go and complete the cut.
-
Move the motor body backwards and switch OFF.
-
Joining the workpieces
-
When the grooves in both pieces have been cut they
can be joined.
-
Put glue into both grooves.
-
Place the correct size biscuit dowel into one side.
