FEMALE JOINT
Refer to the diagrams
on the different joints available.
2. Prepare the female worktop with the
laminate or sealed prepared surface,
face up and the post formed (curved
edge) towards you.
3. For all 90
°
joints, the jig should be
placed with the logo uppermost.
4. Insert 3 pins in the holes marked
♀
.
5. Insert the 4th pin in the hole dependant
on your worktop width. e.g. As in the
example shown, if your worktop is
700mm wide then insert the 3rd pin in the hole marked 700 (see diagram A).
6. Make sure the 3 pins in the holes marked with
♀
are firmly pushed against the front post formed edge and the pin
in the hole marked with the worktop width is pushed firmly against the edge of the worktop (see diagram A)
7. Clamp the jig to the worktop checking that all 3 pins have not moved away from the worktop. Make sure the

CUTTING METHOD
Position the router in the far left side of the slot. Set the router to cut a depth of 10mm.
9.
IMPORTANT - Position the router in the slot and cut from left to right, pulling the router against the edge
of the slot closest to you.
10. Remove the router, and start again from the far left of the central slot, but increase the depth a further 10mm.
11. Follow steps

, until cut is complete.
13.
FEMALE BOLT RECESSES
Prepare the female worktop with
the laminate or prepared surface
face down.
14. Insert 3 pins in the holes which
are marked
B
.
15. Make sure the 3 pins are firmly
pushed against the front cut out
and the edge of the worktop (see
diagram C).
16. Clamp the jig to the worktop
checking that all 3 pins are still
firmly against the worktop. Make
sure the clamps will not obstruct
the router path.
17. You will need a depth of 20mm for the worktop connectors. Do not exceed 10mm per cut.
18. Cut the bolt recesses out, each time clearing the waste material after each cut.

FEMALE JOINT
Refer to the diagrams
on the different joints available. For 45
°
joints
the jig should always be placed with the logo
facing down.
2. Prepare the female worktop with the laminate
face up and the post formed (curved edge)
towards the left.
3. Insert 2 or 3 pins in the holes marked
♀
45°
(see diagram M)
4. Slide the jig along the length of the worktop
so that when cut is made, the joint face is a
little longer than the worktop width. Once the
jointing face has been cut, there will be
enough length for the male worktop to fit
(minor adjustment may be necessary (see
diagram O).
5. Make sure the 2 or 3 pins in the holes marked
♀
45°
are firmly pushed against the front post formed
edge.
6. Clamp the jig to the worktop checking that both
pins are still against the worktop. Make sure the
clamps will not obstruct the router path.
7. Once the cut is complete, cut off the excess
(Diagram O), so that the distance from point 1 to point
2 is equal to your worktop width.
8.
CUTTING
Position the router in the far left side
of the central slot. Set the router to cut a depth of
10mm.
9.
IMPORTANT - Position the router in the slot and
cut from left to right, pulling the router against the
edge of the slot closest to you.
10. Remove the router, and start again from the far left of
the central slot, but increase the depth a further
10mm.
11. Follow steps

–
10
, until cut is complete.
12. For the final finishing cut, position the router again in
the far left side of the central slot, and set the router to
cut at the full depth of the worktop. Again, cut from left
to right but apply the pressure to the edge furthest
away from you.

FEMALE BOLT RECESSES
Prepare the female worktop with the
laminate face down.
14. Insert 2 pins in the holes marked ’B’ and 1 pin into
the hole marked with a ‘B’ and
♂
45
°
. (see diagram P).
15. Make sure the 3 pins are firmly pushed against the
front cut out and the edge of the worktop.
16. Clamp the jig to the worktop checking that all 3
pins are still firmly against the worktop. Make sure the
clamps will not obstruct the router path.
17. You will need a depth of 20mm for the worktop
connectors. Do not exceed 10mm per cut.
18. Cut the bolt recesses out, each time clearing the
waste material .after each cut.
