Sears, Roebuck and Co., Dept. 81TWA, Hoffman Estates, IL 60179 Your Plate Joiner has many features for making cutting operations more pleasant and enjoyable. Safety, performance and dependability have been given top priority in the design of this Plate Joiner, making it easy to maintain and operate. CAUTION: Carefully read through this entire operator's manual before using your new Plate Joiner. Pay close attention to the Rules For Safe Operation, Warnings and Cautions. If you use your Plate Joiner properly and only for what it is intended, you will enjoy years of safe, reliable service, Spline joinery is one of the strongest methods of joinery used in woodworking. When glue is properly applied to a spline and to the joint area of the wood pieces being connected, a large surface area receives the adhesion properties of the glue. This forms a very strong joint. Traditional spline ioinery requires cutting slots with a router or table saw. Small, thin strips of wood must then be cut to fit inside the slots and act as splines. Football shaped wafers, called biscuits, are then placed inside the slots with glue and used to help line up adjoining surfaces. When a water based glue is used, the biscuits swell fn the joint, making an extremely strong and firm bond. White glue, yellow glue, carpenters glue, hide glue, and aliphatic resin glue are examples of water based glues. Newer methods of spline joinery use a plate or biscuit joiner to cut precise mating oval slots in adjoining boards. Your new Plate Joiner is a fast, simple, and accurate plunge cutting tool that can be used for this purpose. It can be used to cut slots in hardwood, softwood, plywood, particle board, and other pressed woods. This bonding technique has traditionally been limited to making edge-to-edge joints. However, with the use of your new Plate Joiner, biscuits can now be easily used to connect butt, miter, and T-joints. Biscuit joining can be as strong as mortise and tenon, tongue and groove, standard spline, and doweled joints. In most cases the material around the biscuit will break before the biscuit itself will break. A greater surface area is exposed to glue in a biscuit joint, making the seams stronger. 2 _ WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. SAVE THESEINSTRUCTIONS • Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. • Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on, invites accidents. • Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury. • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations. • Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Work Area • Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. • Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools may create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. • Electrical • • Safety Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Tool Use and Care Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded. • Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. • Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to • • Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the plug from power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and • • other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the rfsk of electric shock. Personal Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workplace to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control. • carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. • • • Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. • Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. • Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool. Safety Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. 3 Service • • Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance pertormed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. • When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the tool may contact hidden wiring or its cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. Additional • • Rules For Safe Operation • Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an extension cord 100 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. • Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before sanding. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury. • Drugs, alcohol, medication. Do not operate tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury. Save these instructions. Refer to them fre- Know your power tool. Read operator's manual carefully.

INDICATOR A variety of spline ioirts car be made usirg your Biscuit Joiner. The rumber and size biscuits reeded for each ioint deperds or the thickress of the wood and the length of the joirt. Ir gereral, the small #0 biscuits should be used for miter cuts in 3/4 it. materials. The larger biscuits should be used for edge-to-edge ioirery. Whet joining 1-1/2 it. thick materials, stack two biscuits, ore above the other. For example, joining 2 it. x 4 in. dressed lumber. See Figure 9. When joining ever thicker matenals, use additional biscuits, stacked above each other. CENTERLINEMARK(S) TOPVIEW OFPLATEJOINER Fig. 7 When makirg edge-to-edge joirts the more biscuits you use, the stronger the ioirt will be. The following sections illustrate how to make various splire ioints using your Plate Joirer. EDGE-TO-EDGE JOINTS See Figures 7 and 8. Edge-to-edge joirery is one of the most basic ard easiest joirts to construct. Ir general, two basic adjustmerts have to be made for all biscuit ioinery applications. Ore is the depth of cut ard the other is the Iocatfor of the cut. HOW TO MAKE EDGE-TO-EDGE Unplug your Plate Joiner. Prepare the workpieces by layirg them side by side on a workberch ir the order in which they will be assembled. • Usirg a square, determine the location of each biscuit spline ioint and mark the certer of each ioirt by drawing a life across each workpiece. Mark edges 2 it. from the ends of workpieces. The ioirt will be strorger if you use multiple biscuits placed close together. Looser height adjustment krobs ard set ferce argle at go °.

Blade will retract from biscuit slot. • Repeat this procedure for all desired biscuit slots ard cutttrg the slots ir the matirg workpiece. • Orce all biscuit slots have beer cut, place a biscuit ir each joint ard dry assemble the workpieces. Make sure each joint lires up ard fits. • Firally, disassemble the workpieces ard place a bead of glue in each slot. Also, spread a bead of glue over the entire surface of the joint. Reinsert the biscuits and assemble the workpieces. See Figure 8. • Clamp workpieces together urtil the glue sets up. JOINTS • • LINEOF CUTWINDOW CENTERLINEMARKS BISCUIT(S) Tighten height adiustmert knobs securely. Select the correct depth of cut setting to match the biscuit size you are plarning to use. We suggest that you make a test cut ir a scrap piece of wood from the same workpiece if possible. Clamp workpiece securely so it will not move during the cut. BISCUITSLOT(S) EDGE-TO-EDGE JOINTS Fig. 8 11 Bu'n" JOINTS • Place the fence against the board and align the indicator marks on the fence with the centerline mark(s) on the board. • Depress the switch trigger and let the motor build to its maximum speed, then gradually push Plate Joiner forward to extend the blade into the wood. • When the base assembly bottoms out against the depth of cut adjustment knob setting, pull back releasing pressure on the spring. Blade will retract from biscuit slot. See Figure 9. A butt ioint is one of the weakest ioints in woodworking. This type of ioint is matirg the end grain of one board with the edge grair of arother. The bording of glue on this type of surface is poor. However, by using biscuits you car create a stronger joirt that gives a morfise-ard-teron effect. • Repeat this procedure for cutting the slot in the mating workpiece. • Once all biscuit slots have been cut, place a biscuit in each ioint and dry assemble the workpieces. Make sure each ioint lines up and fits. • Finally, disassemble the workpieces and place a bead of glue in each slot. Also, spread a bead of glue over the entire surface of the ioint. Reinserf the biscuits and assemble the workpieces. See Figure 9. BISCUIT SLOT(S) • Clamp workpieces together until the glue sets up.

When offsets are required, it is necessary to cut the slots in the rails first, then readiust the fence to cut the slots in the legs. Fig. 9 • Keeping this one exception in mind, the procedure for cutting offset butt ioints is identical to the procedure for cutting butt ioints. For example -- If a 1/4 in. offset is desired, you would mark the centerlines for cutting a butt ioint as mentioned in the procedures for cutting butt joints, and cut the slots in the ends of the rails. Next you would raise the fence 1/_ in. to the desired offset and Using a square, determine the location of each biscuit spline ioint and mark the center of each ioint by drawing a line across the edges of the two boards. cut the slots in the legs. Loosen height adjustment knobs and set fence angle at gO°. Slide the fence up or down until the indicator point is aligned with the desired dimension on the scale. Remember: The scale indicates the height of the fence from the center of the blade. • Tighten height adiustment knobs securely. • Select the correct depth of cut setting to match the biscuit size you are planning to use. We suggest that you make a test cut in a scrap piece of wood from the same workpiece if possible. • Clamp workpiece securely so that it will not move during the cut. • Plug your Plate Joiner into power supply and prepare to make your first cut.
