ASSEMBLY I STRUCTIO S
1) Fit the Rubber Feet
Screw 4 feet (K) into threaded holes in the base
of the stand. The feet are adjustable in height.
Use a 13mm spanner to tighten the locking nut,
once the machine has been levelled.
2) Assemble the Fence
Unlock two cap head bolts using the Hex key
supplied. Slide the fence forward until the two
round guide bars are flush with the front of the
fence bracket.

MAI FEATURES OF THE M3 U DERPI ER
Fit the Handle and ocking Collar (Q) over the
right hand fence bar.
Insert the Front Stop Bar (A) into the hole in the
fence block.

Place the Brass Nipple (S) into the threaded
hole in the fence block.
Screw in the ocking Handle (R).
3) Assemble the Top Clamp

Push the adjusting button inwards and insert,
from above, the Vertical Bar (C).
Screw the Shaped Pad (F) onto the end of the
vertical bar.
4) Assemble the Front Clamp
Position the Front Clamp ( ) so that one of the
round holes aligns over the Clamp Pusher.
5) Assemble the Side Tables
Use 8 Cap Head Bolts (O) and Washers (P) to
fit the 2 Side Tables (H&J).
Use a straight edge to set the level of the tables
flush with the main table.

6) Remove the Footpedal Locking Clamp
For safety during transport the main pedal is
locked down. Undo the handle and slide the
ocking Clamp upwards, allowing the pedal to
move up at the same time.
The ocking clamp can also be used to lock the
footpedal half way down, This reduces the
amount of travel required to insert a wedge and
is sppeds up th epinning operation when
working with small mouldings.

OPERATI G I STRUCTIO S
1) Set the Fence
The fence will slide smoothly forward and back.
This allows wedges to be inserted into any
position on the moulding.
The fence is fitted with a limit stop to set the
front wedge position and a limit stop to set the
rear wedge position.
When inserting only one wedge into a corner,
the position should be central.
Front Stop
Fence Lock
Rear Stop
L
1/2 L

When inserting 2 or more wedges into a corner
the first position should be 1/4 distance from the
front edge. The last position should be 1/3rd
distance from the back edge.
There is also a lock to hold the current
position. This is used when ‘stacking’
wedges. Stacking is the process of
inserting multiple wedges in the same
position. The second, and subsequent
wedges, will drive the first wedge deeper
creating a stack.
Using this method 2 x10mm high wedges
will become a 20mm high wedge.
3) Select the Appropriate Sized Wedge
The M3 can use wedge (V-nail) sizes
7mm, 10mm, 12mm and 15mm.
Please ote: Only use
Genuine Framers Corner Universal wedges
10.3mm Width, supplied in glued strips.
Page 7
The warranty will be void if the wrong type
Wedges are use.
There must be a mimumum of 2mm between
the top of the inserted wedge and the face of
the moulding.
4) Load the Magazine
Adjust the height of the wedge magazine using
the round knob located underneath the
magazine.

Pull back the nylon cord and hook the looped
end over the anchor bolt.
Insert a strip of wedges, sharpened side up-
wards. When using genuine Framers Corner
Wedges, insert with glued side up.
Unhook the nylon cord and gently let the spring
push the strip of wedges into the magazine.
Use visual observation to confirm that the
wedges slide under the cap with a gap of no
more than 0.5mm.
Page 8
To remove wedges from the magazine, reverse
the proceedure.
Use the Magnetic Tool (T) to pull the partly used
strip of wedges, out of the magazine.
5) Set the Front Clamp
The front clamp grips the moulding by the
rebate. The clamp holds the moulding securely
even when moving from one wedge position to
another. Place a piece of the moulding to be
used against the fence. Press and hold down
the right hand footpedal. The clamp pusher will
travel backwards.
Fit the clamp over the clamp pusher, in such a
way that tip of the clamp is within 15mm of the
moulding.
Release the foot pedal and the clamp will
move forward, gripping the moulding.
The tip of the clamp is desgined to allow
for slight variations in the moulding width.

6) Choose the Appropriate Rubber Pad
The pinner is supplied with 2 rubber pads. For
flat moulding the round pad is generally better.
For profiled moulding with varying heights the
shaped pad is generally better.
7) Set the Top Clamp
It is important to set the height of the top clamp
correctly. Place the moulding to be used against
the fence. Set the gap between the lowest point
of the moulding and the underside of the rubber
pad to 20mm. To adjust the height, press the
round button forward to release the vertical bar.
Slide the clamp up or down as required.
Release the clamp adjusting button.
Page 9
8) Insert the Wedge
With all the above settings made:
lPush the fence into the back position
lPress down and hold the right hand pedal
lPlace 2 mitred pieces against the fence
lRelease the right hand pedal
lVisually check the joint is tight
lPress the left hand pedal firmly all the way
........down until the light comes on.
lRelease the left hand pedal
If a second wedge is to be inserted;
Slide the fence and moulding to the next wedge
position and use the left hand footpedal again.
Do not press the right hand pedal until all of the
wedges required have been inserted into the
corner.
During the cycle the top clamp will travel down
and contact the moulding, then the driver will
push one wedge into the underside of the
moulding.
Please note: It is recommended that a suitable
glue is always used when making a frame.
Apply a small amount of glue to one of the
mitred ends before loading into the pinner.
The glue will give the frame strength and
ensure it lasts for many years.

ROUTI E MAI TE A CE
1) Cleaning
Clean any excess glue from around the wedge
exit point.
Clean the top of the table using a silicone spray
or similar product to allow the fence to slide
smoothly.
2) Clearing a blockage
Occasionally, a wedge may get jammed in the
magazine. It may be possible to pull the
wedges out by hand. If it is firmly stuck,
possibly half in and half out, It is highly likely
that the driver will also be stuck in the raised
position.
To clear a blockage; remove the cap, using the
hex key provided. Once removed, the driver
should drop back down and the jammed wedge
can easily be removed.
When refitting the cap, ensure the top is flush
with the surface of the surrounding table.
3) Replacing the Driver
The driver is the part which takes the most wear
and will, one day, need replacing.
ii) Use a hex key to remove the Cap.
iii) Undo the hex bolt which secures the bottom
of the driver to the driver holder.
iv) Push the driver up through the main table
and remove it from the top.
When fitting the new driver ensure the V shape
lip is uppermost, with the point of the V towards
the back of the machine.
Before tightening the hex nut, ensure the driver
is firmly pressed against the bottom of the
holder.
Page 10
4) Changing the Rebate Clamp Cable
i) Remove the 2 Cap Head screws (Part 15)
which hold the Clamp Support Arm (Part 12)
ii) Remove the 2 Cap Head screws (Part 79)
holding the Clamp Cast (Part 62) to the fence.
Drop Clamp Cast down through the machine.
iii) Remove Guide Bar (Part 61) and carefully
remove Clamp Block Spring (Part 82). This will
release the Clamp Block (Part 81) allowing the
Inner Cable to be removed from the Clamp
Bock.
iv) Remove M6 nut (Part 2) on the bottom of the
cable, were the cable passes through the
Clamp Footpedal (Part 33)
v) Remove the M8 nut on the bottom of the
Cable Adjuster (Part 3) where the cable passes
through the bracket on the Floorstand (Part 1).
vi) Remove Inner and Outer Cable from
Floorstand.
vii) Fit the new cable by reversing the
instructions.
viii) Once the cable is replaced, the amount of
movement of the Clamp Block (Part 81) must
be checked. When the footpedal is fully
depressed, the Clamp Block (Part 61) should
move between around 20 mm.
ix) The amount of movement can be adjusted
by the M6 (upper) & M8 (lower) nuts on the
Cable Adjuster (Part 3)
