6. DUST EXTRACTION

There are three options provided for collecting dust from your
plate joiner as described below.
A. Adjustable Direction Elbow (See Figure 10)
This attachment inserts into the dust exhaust port on the right side
at the rear of the base assembly and clicks into place. To remove,
pull out firmly. The directional elbow rotates easily to aim the dust
in the most convenient direction suitable for the particular
application.
B. Dust Adaptor (See Figure 11)
This attachment, when inserted as described above, allows the
use of several common sizes of vacuum hose to be attached for
direct vacuum pick-up of the dust.
C. Dust Bag (See Figure 12)
The dust bag provided fits snugly over the dust adaptor described
above. To empty the bag, open the zipper underneath and dump
dust out.
NOTE: When the bag becomes full, the dust will back-up into the
adaptor and the exhaust port on the right rear of the tool. To clean
out, turn off and unplug the tool and remove packed dust. The bag
will hold the dust generated from approximately 70 to 100 #20
biscuit cuts before filling up.

General Operation

Plate joiners are primarily used for making cabinetry and furniture,
joining millwork or other similar applications where a strong, accurate
joint is required in wood or wood by-products. There are literally
hundreds of variations of joints that can be made with your Plate
Joiner. We will limit our discussion to six basic joints that can be used
to build on and adapt to your own applications. The following are
some basic set-up steps that will apply to all biscuit joints.
