The last activity by Francis on this forum was May 2018 so he may not answer you. Treat the tool kindly as I suspect there are no parts available for it just like the Freud routers. We’re fairly certain the routers were actually made by Fellisati so the joiner probably was too.
The JS102’s variable angle fence permits flat cuts in stock up to 3/4″ thick, and the cutting of miters from the outside of the joint rather than the inside; if you’ll never cut miters other than 45° , you don’t need a variable angle fence on any joiner. Adjustments for Biscuit Size There are three standard cutting depths to accommodate the three stan- dard biscuit sizes and settings for the new A and B settings as well as a maxi- mum setting. Making a frame can be much sim- plified with the biscuit joiner so long as each mitered piece is at least 1 3/4″ wide so the diagonal portions of the miters are 2 1/2″ apart so they can be slotted for the biscuits without cutting through the sides.

What are the parts of a biscuit joiner?
A biscuit joiner uses a small circular saw blade to cut a crescent-shaped hole (called the mouth) in the opposite edges of two pieces of wood or wood composite panels. An oval-shaped, highly dried and compressed wooden biscuit (beech or particle wood) is covered with glue, or glue is applied in the slot.
