PRODUCT SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS

>

  To avoid serious injury, keep hands and fingers away from the spinning router bit. Maintain 

  awareness of the bit at all times.

Turn off and unplug your router before installing the bit 

  or adjusting the cutter height.

>

  To avoid serious injury and damage to your router and the 

  Perfect Fit Dado Jig, the router 

MUST

 be securely attached 

  to the Router Plate (1), and the Router Plate must be 

  secured to the Jig Base (2).

> BEFORE

 beginning any routing operation, 

ALWAYS

 

  make sure that 

ALL

 knobs on the Perfect Fit Dado Jig 

  have been tightened.

>

  To avoid serious injury, adjust the router to fully retract 

  the bit during jig setup operations. The bit 

MUST

 not 

  extend below the Router Plate (1) during setup.

>

  To avoid a potentially dangerous “climb” cut that can make 

  the router more difficult to control, 

ALWAYS

 make the first 

  and second cuts as indicated on the directional labels on 

  the jig.

The Perfect Fit Dado Jig works only with 1/4"-, 3/8"- and 

  1/2"-diameter router bits. Do 

NOT

 use undersized plywood 

  router bits.

>

  Make sure that your router’s power cord and dust hose 

  won’t obstruct the path of the jig or catch on anything 

  as you make your cut.
