SETUP & PREPARATION
Attaching the Dust Bag
1 Ensure the zip at the back of
the dust bag is closed and
that the clip on the dust bag is
located in its recess.
2 Aligntheatedgeson
the dust bag and dust
port.Thenslideinrmly.
2. MARKING THE WORKPIECE 3. ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DEPTH
Centrelines
1 Measure the width of
your workpiece with a
square.
The centreline of the workpiece and the centreline of the biscuit must
be lined up accurately to ensure a successful joint. The centreline
marking procedure is outlined below.
2 Divide the measurement by 2
to get the midpoint. Mark this
point several times along the
workpiece with a pencil.
3 Using a ruler, mark
the centreline across
the entire face of the
workpiece.
4 Using a square measure, mark
a line 65mm from the edge of
the workpiece.
Note: 65mm is the recommended
distance from the edge
of the workpiece to the
centreline of the biscuit.
5 Using a square, draw a
continuation of the centreline
on the top of the workpiece
for use when aligning the
centreline indicator of your
biscuit joiner.
1 Set the depth adjustment dial
using the procedure above,
then extend the blade until the
depth stop contacts the depth
adjustment dial.
3 To adjust the scale, rotate
the depth stop screw until the
depth of the blade matches the
scale as outlined in the above
table. Repeat this process for
each depth setting.

Adjusting the Cutting Depth
Checking the Accuracy of the Depth Stop
1 Rotate the depth
adjustment dial so that
it clicks into the desired
setting.
2 Measure the distance
between the blade and
the face of the fence.
The depth adjustment dial controls the depth of the cut made in the
workpiece as required for your biscuit.
Your choice of biscuit is dictated by the size of the workpiece. The
following table shows the relationship of the markings on the depth
adjustment dial to cutting depth and the biscuit used.
Note: It is recommended to check the accuracy of the depth adjustment
dial as part of your setup procedure.

5. PRE-OPERATION CHECKS4. ADJUSTING THE ANGLE & HEIGHT
1 Ensure the joiner’s plunge is
moving freely along its rails.
2 Check the disc carefully for
cracks or damage and replace
in necessary.
3 Ensure the dust bag is secure
and the zip is closed.
4 Make sure the cutting depth,
height and angle have been
set to match the desired cut
and material thickness.
5 Clamp the workpiece securely
so that it will not move during
the cut.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
Adjusting the Height of the Fence
1 Loosen the bevel locking
knob anti-clockwise.
1 Loosen the height locking
knob.
3 Retighten the bevel locking knob securely by rotating it clockwise.
2 Move the fence to the desired
angle on the bevel adjustment
scale.
2 Adjust the fence to the
desired height using the
height adjustment scale.
3 Retighten the height locking knob securely by rotating it clockwise.
4 Perform a visual check to ensure the centre of the blade lines up
with the centreline you marked on the face of the workpiece and
re-adjust if necessary.
Note: The indicator on the height adjustment scale measures the
distance between the face of the fence and the centre of the blade.
Note: After completing this operation, double check the cutting angle to
ensurethefaceofthefenceisushwiththeworkpiece.
When using your biscuit joiner to make mitred joins, it is necessary to
change the angle of cut to match the bevel for an accurate join.
The height should correspond to half of the material thickness of the
workpiece taking into account the width of the blade. The groove for
the biscuit should always be in the middle of the workpiece, unless you
are joining thick workpieces, where multiple adjacent biscuit joins are
sometimes used.

BISCUIT & JOINT GUIDE
8. BISCUIT SELECTION 9. TYPES OF JOINTS
Below is a table outlining the dimensions of the 3 common biscuits
sizes which your biscuit joiner has preset depths for on the depth
adjustment knob.
Edge to Edge Joint
Edge-to-edge joinery is one of the easiest joints to construct. It is
commonly used when making larger panels from smaller boards. One
such application is a table top.
Butt Joint
A butt joint is one of the weakest joints in woodworking. This type
of joint is mating the end grain of one board with the edge grain of
another. The bonding of glue on this type of surface is poor.
However, by using biscuits you can create a very strong joint that gives
a mortise-and-tenon effect.
T-joint
A T-joint is used when the end of a board is joined to the face of
another board. Typical applications for T-joints are attaching shelves to
bookcases, or inner support braces to frames. Actual cutting of a T-joint
is as simple as any other cut. However, it is critical that you mark the
centrelines, mark the intersection points for each slot and cut each slot
correctly.
Mitre Joint
Mitrejointsprovideaneatnishtoacornerjointastheydonotshow
the end grain of the workpiece. Reinforcing the joint with the addition
of a biscuit is a great way to add strength. Mitre joints are used when
making boxes or drawers.
Corner Joint
Corner joints are used when making picture frames. Using biscuits for
corner joints makes assembly much simpler. Clamping of corner joints
canbedifcult.Thebiscuithelpstoholdtheworkpiecesinplacewhile
the glue cures to secure the join.
Always try to use the largest biscuit
thatwillt.Inmostcasesthiswill
be #20. Occasionally, when using
thin workpieces you will need to
scale down to a #0 or #10 biscuit.
Biscuits are typically 3.75mm thick
and made from compressed beech
wood shavings stamped out in an
oval pattern.
Glue is applied to the biscuit and the joint. The glue soaks into the
biscuit causing it to swell and tighten up in the joint. The expansion of
the biscuit adds strength to the joint.
Note: Always refer to the glue manufacturer’s instructions regarding
setting times.
Storage
Store your biscuits in a clean dry container. They can absorb moisture
from the air and swell, rendering them useless.

Carbon Brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the joiner will spark and/or stop. Discontinue
use as soon as this happens. They should be replaced prior to recommencing use
of the joiner. Carbon brushes are a wearing component of the joiner therefore not
covered under warranty. Continuing to use the joiner when carbon brushes need
to be replaced may cause permanent damage to the joiner. Carbon brushes will
wear out after many uses but when the carbon brushes need to be replaced, take
the joiner to an electrician or a power tool repairer for
a quick and low cost replacement. Always replace both
carbon brushes at the same time.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any
damage or injuries caused by the repair of the joiner by
an unauthorised person or by mishandling of the joiner.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, we recommend the use of a residual current device (rated 30mA or
less).
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructionsmayresultinelectricshock,reand/orseriousinjury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the
warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power
tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.Unmodiedplugsandmatchingoutletswill
reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
ngerontheswitchorenergisingpowertoolsthathavetheswitchoninvitesaccidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
