Setup and Maintenance Instructions
Step 1: Bolt the unit to an existing workbench or to an
optional Frame Square free-standing base. Mounting
hardware and instructions are packed with the base.
No hardware is furnished for bench mounting. Use
appropriate fasteners such as ¼” bolts or lag screws.
When mounting to your bench, be sure the front
mounting screws are no farther than 2” from the workbench edge. The ideal situation is to have the
base even with the edge of the bench.
Step 2: Assemble the Knee Press Extension
to the Joiner undercarriage using the #10
Allen screws and nuts provided.
A height adjustment is possible depending on
which holes you use in the knee press extension bar.
NOTE: Before adjusting the knee pad you
should determine whether you want the unit
tilted back as shipped, or if you want it level.
The factory assembled the unit at an optimal
angle. If you prefer it level, remove (2) 1/4”
bolts on both sides at the rear of the base.
Raise the rear of the machine up until it
aligns with the other holes in the mounting
angles. Install the 1/4” bolts into the new
holes and tighten
Step 3: Slide the v-nail Driver assembly into the rear
track and move it far forward enough to close the gate
behind it.

Step 4: Attach the top leveling rail to the front of
the machine as shown to the right. Level the top
and tighten the supplied bolts.
Step 5: Slide Frame Square’s plastic
laminated work top into its prearranged
position. Instructions come with this
standard table.
There is an optional larger table
available from Frame Square
NOTE: If you will be building your own
top, see the details for a typical 4’ x 4’
top to the right.
Maintenance
Keep unit clean and free from excess glue at all times. After driving v-nails into a frame, return the
driver to the rear position (nearest you.) This will help keep excess glue off the driver tip.
It is very important that the pin inside the driver be free to move up and down. Spray this pin with
WD40 or silicone spray if necessary to keep glue from jamming this pin.
No daily lubrication is required. If adjusting the front wedge becomes sluggish, spray friction
area on the top side of the machine only, with a good silicone spray lubricant. Do Not spray or oil
the bottom side of the slide area. The locking feature of the knee clamp requires a dry area.

FIG. B
1: SETTING THE FRONT CLAMP (CHUCK) FOR MOULDING WIDTH
A. With your thumb against Push Pad (1), push Chuck away from you far enough to accommodate the moulding
which you are preparing to join.
B. With your left hand, lay one moulding rail (with rabbet away from you) against the left hand work fence. Adjust
the moulding so that the mitered end is near the center line of the Chuck. Hold it secure with your left hand.
C. With your right hand fore finger, lift the Pull Pad (3) and use it to pull the Chuck towards you until it touches
the moulding rabbet. Then press the Pull Pad back down, and using the Push Pad(1) , move the Chuck away
from the moulding the preset amount allowed by the Pull Pad. (about 1/8”) Note: Steps A,B, & C need not
be repeated until you change the moulding width again.
2: GLUING and CLAMPING A CORNER
D. Remove the frame rail in your left hand from the machine and apply glue as required for the first corner. Now lay
two frame rails (long and short) into the work fence and align the miters to your satisfaction.
E. With either knee, apply pressure to the Knee Pad, until it meets some light resistance. Make a visual inspection
of the joint. If the joint appears to be aligned correctly, press the Knee Pad forward until it locks.
F. This will push the two rails together in a tight vise-like action. Wipe any excess glue from the corner joint.
(If the joint is not aligned correctly, pull back on the Knee Pad Extension, and re-align the two mitered pieces.)
At this point you have a corner glued together and tightly held. If you are joining a compliant wood that is not
extremely dense, go to step 3: immediately. If however you are joining a very dense wood such as Oak or Ash (that
doesn’t accept v-nails easily) then you can walk away at this point and let the glue cure for awhile. After the glue has
cured for ½ hour to 1 hour you can usually insert the v-nails without separating the outside edge of the corner. If you
have a lot of frames to join, leave the extremely dense mouldings until last. The separation phenomenon is the result of
the wood versus v-nail, not brand name of joiner used.

3: JOINING THE CORNER WITH V-TYPE NAILS
G. Move the Nylon Pressure Foot to a logical position over the moulding profile using “FIG. A” as a guide based on
profile shape. Screw down to apply very light pressure on soft woods, moderate pressure on most woods, and
slightly more pressure on hard woods such as oak or ash. Note that the force of the Chuck exerts a fair amount
of downward pressure on the joint near the inside of the rabbet, so the Pressure Foot is used primarily to hold
down the outside edge of the corner .
H. Select the proper V-shaped nail size (height) (consult the chart on the joiner) for the height of the frame being
joined. Insert the cartridge into the machine and push the Nail Driver Assembly (Item 10) forward until it stops
against the forward bump stop. (At the inside rabbett of the moulding) If you’re using the right hand to push the
Driver Assembly, then reach over with your left hand and grab the Driver Handle and pull it to the left until It
stops. This inserts the first V-type nail into the corner. If the profile is tall enough, and a second nail is needed to
stack on top of the other, then continue to apply pressure forward on the Driver Assembly and repeat the last
motion with your left hand.
I. If you only need one nail in the forward position, then reach back with your right hand and press in on the Stop
Button. This is a yellow painted square on the right side of the joiner rail. Hold this in, while sliding the
Nail Driver Assembly back to touch it with your left hand. Once the Nail Driver Assembly is resting against the
stop, you can pull the Driver Handle to the left again, to insert a nail at that position.
J. Most average size mouldings will only require 1 fastener in each position. Very narrow profiles may only require
one fastener in the forward position. For wider moulding profiles, you can also include a 3rd fastener between
the two preset stops. Position the Nail Driver Assembly between the stops and swing the Driver Handle to the
left. When stacking fasteners, be sure you hold the Nail Driver Assembly firmly against either stop. It is not
recommended that you stack fasteners in the middle of the profile, since there is no stop to use.
4: REMOVE THE JOINED CORNER FROM MACHINE
A. To release the corner, grasp the Knee Press Extension with either hand near the Knee Pad and pull up towards
you gently but firmly.
B. Loosen the Pressure Foot Screw approximately one half turn to the left and rotate the Pressure Foot either to
the left or right to get it out of the way.
C. Lift the joint slightly to clear the Chuck and remove from the machine.
This procedure is repeated until all four corners are joined. For small frame sizes like 8” x 10” you might choose to join
each corner in succession in a long, short, long, short sequences. For larger frames it usually seems easier to create
two identical ells, with either the long rail on the left, or the short on the left. Just make sure they are both the same.
Then the opposite 3rd and 4th corners are joined last. If the 4th corner does not join correctly, the cuts should be
checked for an accurate 45 degrees. If the cuts are perfect, the working fences can be checked with an accurate 90 º
machinists’ square. A carpenters’ moveable square is generally not accurate enough for this. The alternative is a plastic
45 º drawing triangle from your local office supply store.
SPECIAL SITUATIONS:
To join mini frames or large double-step mouldings, the Push Pad could intrude. Simply remove it by picking it up and
off the Chuck. Replace it when finished with the special job.
