and then switch off.

7. To cut a slot in the edge of the matching workpiece,  

place this piece on a flat surface and place the biscuit 

joiner against the edge.

8. Again line up the centre point of each slot and make  

the cuts.

9. Once all the slots are cut insert a biscuit into each joint 

and dry assemble the workpieces to ensure everything 

lines up and fits.

10. Insert a water-based glue into the slots.
11. Place the biscuits in position and clamp the joint until  

the biscuits swell and the glue sets.

NOTE: 

It is possible that thick pieces of timber may  

require two biscuits at each location, one at a height  

of about 1/3rd the thickness of the wood, and the other  

at about 2/3rd the thickness.

Making a mitre joint

2. Position the 2 pieces together and draw a reference mark 

at the centre point of each proposed joint location. 

3. Place the cutting guide at the centre point of each slot 

in turn and press the fence against the edge of the 

workpiece.

4. Switch on the biscuit joiner and plunge the blade forward 

to make the cut.

5. Allow the return spring to retract the blade from the slot 

and then switch off.

and dry assemble the workpieces to ensure everything 

lines up and fits.

7. Insert a water-based glue into the slots.
8. Place the biscuits in position and clamp the joint until the 

biscuits swell and the glue sets.

Making a corner joint

1. Set the 2 pieces together and 

draw the joint centres on the 

outside face and end.

2. Cut the slots into the end 

piece.

3. Cut the slots in the face piece.
4. Once all the slots are cut 

insert a biscuit into each joint 

and dry assemble the workpieces to ensure everything 

lines up and fits.

5. Insert a water-based glue into the slots.
6. Place the biscuits in position and clamp the joint until the 

biscuits swell and the glue sets.
