Safety Warnings and Precautions

WARNING: When using tool, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce

the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.

Read all instructions before using this tool!

1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.

2. Observe work area conditions. Do not use machines or power tools in damp or wet

locations. Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted. Do not use electrically

powered tools in the presence of ﬂammable gases or liquids.

3. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let

them handle machines, tools, or extension cords.

4. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location to

inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.

5. Do not force tool. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was

intended. Do not use inappropriate attachments in an attempt to exceed the tool

capacity.

6. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to

do the work of a larger industrial tool. Do not use a tool for a purpose for which it was

not intended.

7. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in

moving parts. Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear

are recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.

8. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles.

Wear a full face shield if you are producing metal ﬁlings or wood chips. Wear an ANSI

approved dust mask or respirator when working around metal, wood, and chemical

dusts and mists.

9. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or

across running machines.

10. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer

performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool

cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician.

The handles must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.

11. Disconnect power. Unplug charger when not in use.

12. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting wrenches

are removed from the tool or machine work surface before plugging it in.

13. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the switch is in the Off position when not

in use and before plugging in. Do not carry any tool with your ﬁnger on the trigger,

whether it is plugged in or not.

14. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool

when you are tired.

15. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged

should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its

intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts

or mounting ﬁxtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any

part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualiﬁed technician.

Do not use the tool if any switch does not turn On and Off properly.

16. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as

pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.

17. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical

replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories

intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are available from Harbor Freight

Tools.

18. Secure Work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It is safer than using your hands and

it frees up both hands to operate the tool.

19. Do not operate tool if under the inﬂuence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning

labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reﬂexes are impaired while

taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.

Attaching Dust Bag

For efﬁcient dust pickup, empty bag frequently.

1. To install Dust Bag (45), slide bag connector onto dust porthole on Joiner (43) until it

snaps into place.

2. To remove, pull release tab on right side of bag connector and slide bag off.

3. To empty Dust Bag, remove Bag Clamp (63) from power cord and slide plastic clip off

large end of bag. Do this over a trash can.

Adjusting Front Fence

1. To remove Adjustable Front Fence (44), remove the two Lock Knobs (59) and slide the

retaining Bolts (57) out of the front fence assembly, and remove fence.

2. To attach the Adjustable Front Fence (44), insert the two fence bolts through the two

holes in front of the fence, and through the Joiner (43).

Note: The lower holes in front of Joiner contain nuts which may be used

to fasten a ﬁxed auxiliary fence accessory, but are not used with the Ad-

justable Front Fence.

3. To reposition Adjustable Front Fence (44), loosen the two Lock Knobs (59), slide the

fence up or down to desired position. Retighten Lock Knobs. The front of the base

plate has a height scale to help position the fence.

Page 5SKU 38437

Setting Depth Stops

The Plate Joiner features a 3-position depth stop wheel with three notches indicating

different depths. For example, when using a #0 plate, rotate the Depth Adjusting Dial (48) to

the notch marked “0”.

1. Pull the Depth Adjusting Dial (48) out to disengage and rotate to the desired notch (0,

10, or 20). Reengage Dial.

2. Turn tool upside down and place Adjustable Front Fence (44) against a solid surface,

push forward on the tool until it stops and is held in position.

3. Check to see where the indicator lines up on the depth scale. The indicator should be

slightly past the depth number selected (0, 10, or 20).

4. If the indicator does not line up (step 3), rotate the Long Screw (46) one way or the

other until the indicator lines up on the depth scale (step 3).

Changing Blades

Warning: To prevent personal injury, always disconnect the power to the

tool before removing or installing blades.

1. Disconnect power and turn tool upside down.

2. Loosen screws (56) in Adjustable Front Fence (44) and lower fence to expose the two

screws that hold the base assembly together.

3. Using the Hex Wrench, remove both screws from front section of Joiner (43) assembly.

4. Place the Arbor Wrench (included accessory) on spindle and hold to prevent the

spindle from rotating.

5. Place an adjustable wrench (or 24 mm wrench) on the Blade Bolt (62) and loosen

counterclockwise, removing bolt.

6. Slide Cutting Blade (61) out, noting the direction of the blade teeth.

7. Install the new Cutting Blade onto the bushing, making sure blade teeth are facing the

correct direction (see arrow on illustration, next page).

8. Replace Blade Bolt (62) and tighten clockwise until secure.

9. Reassemble Adjustable Front Fence (44) and lower fence assembly to Joiner base

assembly using the two screws.

pressure is released, the switch button snaps back to the Off position.

2. To lock the Switch On, press and hold the Switch button in, and then press in the black

pushbutton on the left side of the handle.

3. To unlock the Switch from the On position, press and release the Switch button.

Typical Joiner Applications

Miter Joints T-Joints Edge to Edge Cuts Butt Joints

Marking Slot Locations for Standard Cuts

1. Always begin with the Joiner base cutting into the end of the wood, rather than the

face as illustrated below.

2. Mark the center of slot at a point as least 2-1/2 inches from outer edge of the board.

Allow at least 1 inch between slots in multiple plate applications for best results. Mark

all slots on both boards at the same time to assure proper alignment.

3. Align center line on face plate with the pencil mark on wood as illustrated below.

4. Grasp the tool with both hands, turn power On and push the tool forward smoothly.

When Joiner base assembly has butted completely against wood surface to be cut,

pull back and then turn power Off.

Page 7SKU 38437

Marking Slot Locations for Other Types of Cuts

When making preparations for cutting slots for T-butt, miter, edge-to-edge, leg and rail, and

square pattern joints, there are two important steps to ensure proper alignment of the joints.

1. Align all boards as you want them to appear when ﬁnished, then mark the center line

for the slots on all boards at the same time.

2. Set plate depth before making cuts.

Maintenance

1. Disconnect tool power before cleaning.

2. Wearing ANSI approved safety glasses, use compressed air to blow the tool clean.

3. Do not insert pointed objects into holes in attempt to clean them out.

4. Use a mild soap and clean, damp rag to clean tool.

Caution: Certain cleaning agents and solvents can damage plastic parts. Some of

these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and

household detergents that contain ammonia.
