Check to verify that the jig is in the “closed” position. Then
turn on your router and carefully advance it in the direction
indicated by the label for the first cut. Maintain consistent
pressure on the router as you make the cut, and be sure to fully
exit the other side of the workpiece.

Turn the router off and allow it to stop fully. Then loosen
the two 5/16"-18 x 1" Tall Five-Star Knobs (9) and slide the
Jig Base (2) away from the clamp guide until the two 1/4"-20
Knurled Knobs (11) stop it from moving any farther. Tighten
the two 5/16"-18 x 1" Tall Five-Star Knobs to lock the Jig
Base in the “open” position.

Turn on your router and make the second (return) cut.
Maintain consistent pressure on the router as you
make the cut, and be sure to fully exit the other side of
the workpiece.

Check the fit of your shelf material in the dado. The fit should

repeat the steps in
“Setting Jig for your Material.”

comfortable for you, always making sure that your hands
and fingers are clear of the cutting area.
