Move the magnetic extraction then use the hex key
provided to move the side stop to the left, see fig 03-04-
05. Load in vertically the first board on the left of the jig
pushing up to the underside of the comb & centralising
to the fingers, see fig 06-07.
3)
Ensure that the material markers on the comb are
centralised to the top of the board & look equal along the
length, see fig 08.
4)
Slide the side stop towards the right to make contact
with the side of the board, see fig 09 & lock in place.
5)
Use the opposing board to mark a cutter depth set
line on the material, see fig 10 then plunge the dovetail
cutter down through the fingers in front of the board so
that the tip of the cutter just meets the marked line, see
fig 11.
