General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
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 flammable 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. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will 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 ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI 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 influence
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 finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure 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.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional Specifi c Safety Instructions
• Blades must be rated for at least the speed marked on the tool. Blades running over
rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
• Always use the guard. The guard protects the operator from broken blade fragments and
unintentional contact with the blade.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces because the cutter may contact its
own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
• Do not use blunt or damaged blades. Personal injury may occur.
• Keep guards in working order. Check operation before each use. Do not use if guard does
not close briskly over blade.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge)
for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable,
that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension
to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum
wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses.
Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY
EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI
S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product

Introduction
Examine Figure 1 and your plate joiner for a few minutes to become familiar with the various
features and the names used to describe them. The following sections will discuss the various
controls and you will need to know where they are.
Overview
You have purchased a precision woodworking tool. The function of the plate joiner is to enable
WALT TOOL, CALL
you to make extremely strong and accurate joints in wood and wood by products.
The tool works by a plunging action to precisely cut crescent shaped slots for the placement of
flat wooden dowels or "biscuits" like those shown in Figure 2.
The various adjustments on the patented base/fence assembly will enable you to make virtually
any biscuit joint imaginable. The tool may be further enhanced by some simple jigs and fixtures
that can be easily made. Some of the more common biscuit joinery applications are shown in
Figure 3 and are discussed in detail in the applications section of this manual.
Switch
Your plate joiner has a trigger switch located on the underside, as shown in Figure 1. To turn
the tool on, depress the trigger. To turn the tool off, release the trigger. To lock the tool on for
continuous operation, there is a lock on button located at the rear of the tool just above the
cord. When cutting always hold the tool with one hand on the switch handle and one hand on
the auxiliary handle. To lock the tool on, depress and hold the trigger as you depress the lock
button. Hold the lock button in as you gently release the trigger. The tool will continue to run. To
turn the tool off from a locked on condition, depress and release the trigger once.
Blade Replacement
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power
source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: Handle blades carefully. They are extremely sharp.
NOTE: The DW682 is shipped with a 4" (101.6 mm) diameter blade installed.
In time your saw blade will wear out and need replacement. To remove the blade, follow the
steps below.
1. Turn off and unplug the plate joiner.
2. Remove the 4 torx head screws from the bottom of the shoe, using the T20 torx screwdriver
provided.
3. Rotate the shoe out of the way.
4. Use the spanner wrench provided to loosen (counterclockwise) the blade nut. Depress the
spindle lock pin on the top of the gear case to hold the spindle while you unscrew the nut.
5. Remove the blade and have it sharpened or replace it with a new one.
6. Reinstall the blade by reversing the steps above. Be sure blade teeth point counterclockwise
as shown in Figure 4.
7. IMPORTANT: Always check the fine depth adjustment when sharpening or replacing the
blade. Adjust if necessary. (See "Controls" section).
The Controls
The heart of your plate joiner is the base/fence assembly. All of the controls that let you make
a variety of precision cuts are located on this assembly. Take a few minutes to become familiar
with the various controls.
ALWAYS TURN OFF AND UNPLUG PLATE JOINER BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.
1. ADJUSTABLE FENCE
The adjustable fence provides a sturdy, precise reference surface to determine the point at
which the slots for the biscuits will be cut. Its adjustable height feature allows you to position
biscuit slots as close as 3/16" (4.76mm) and as distant as 1-3/8" (35mm) measured from the
workpiece surface to the centerline of the blade (see Figure 6). The adjustable angle feature
allows a full range of settings from 0° to 90 as well as a reverse 45° bevel which allows
outside registration on miter joints. (See Applications section under Miter Joints, Figure 26.)
The height adjustment is accomplished by first loosening the lock knob on the right side of
the fence and then rotating the knurled adjustment knob until the desired height is reached
(see Figure 5).
Tightening the lock knob will then automatically align the fence parallel to the blade and lock
it in position. The vertical scale and pointer located directly under the lock knob can be used
to assist in setting this height. The scale readings indicate distance from the blade centerline
to the fence surface when the fence is set at 90° (see Figure 6). The fence angle can be set
simply by loosening the lock knob on the left side of the tool, aligning the protractor scale
with the pointer and tightening the lock knob.
2. PLUNGE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The depth of cut can be set to match the dimensions of the particular size biscuit you will
be using. The numbers on the depth adjustment knob (0,10,20,M) coincide with the three
sizes of biscuits shown in Figure 2. The letter M stands for the maximum depth capacity
of the tool which is 20mm (25/32"). This depth is obtainable only with a new blade and by
backing out the fine adjustment screw (see next section).
NOTE: The M setting has been provided for future use and will not be necessary for most
biscuiting operations. To select a depth, align the appropriate number with the red mark
scribed in the tool's housing, as shown in Figure 7. Rotate the depth adjustment knob to
the desired position and it will "click" into place.
3. FINE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
You may encounter situations where you want to leave a little looseness in your joint so that
you can move it slightly before the glue sets up. For these instances a fine depth adjustment
has been provided. To adjust, you must first raise the adjustable fence to its uppermost
position. Then insert the T20 torx wrench provided into the opening as shown in Figure
8. Turn the depth adjustment screw clockwise for less depth and counterclockwise for
increased depth. Each full turn causes a change in depth of 1mm (0.04"). Always check the
depth adjustment by first making test cuts in scrap wood.
4. ANTI-SLIPPAGE PINS
Plate Joiners tend to slide to the right with respect to the workpiece when making a cut.
This tendency is increased with a dull blade or when plunging very rapidly. Anti-slippage pins
have been provided to reduce this tendency and are located on the front registration surface
on either side of the blade opening slot. When making some joints, you may wish to retract
the anti-slippage pins so as not to scratch your workpiece in a visible area. For this purpose,
simply rotate the anti-slippage pins approximately 1/6 of a turn and they will retract back
behind the front registration surface. A flat blade screwdriver can be used to rotate the pins
as shown in Figure 9.
5. BOTTOM REGISTRATION SURFACE
For certain applications, you will want to use the bottom surface of the plate joiner for
alignment. When using the bottom registration surface, the adjustable fence should be set
to 0° and the height setting is unimportant. This surface is used primarily when making 'T'
joints (see applications section). The distance between the centerline of the blade and the
bottom registration surface is fixed at 3/8" (9.5mm) which allows centering on 3/4" (19mm)
thick stock. The 3 red marks on the bottom registration surface indicate the centerline (or
the deepest point) of the biscuit cut and the approximate width of a #20 biscuit so that
you'll know where the edge of the blade is and can prevent breakthrough. To avoid breaking
through the workpiece, align the shoe so that neither outside mark extends beyond the end
of the workpiece. If either side does, there is a good chance that the blade will break through
the surface and ruin your work.
6. DUST EXTRACTION
There are three options provided for collecting dust from your plate joiner as described
below.
