4. Slide the backer sled assembly into the slots in the
Platform (1). It might be a tight fit at first. To calibrate the
sled so it won’t bind, slightly loosen the 1/4"-20 x 1/2" Hex
Socket Head Cap Screws (18) at the top of the Corner
Brackets (17). Then gently push and pull the sled in a
slightly twisting motion and retighten the hex screws.
Repeat until the sled slides smoothly.

5. Adjust the height of the router bit above the surface of the
Platform (1) to match the thickness of your stock plus a
little extra for sanding flush.

6. Adjust the gap between the bit and the Indexing Key (2 or 3)
to equal the diameter of the bit (1/2" box joints, for example,
would require a 1/2" gap between the 1/2" router bit and the
1/2" indexing key). To adjust the gap, loosen the Five-Star
Knobs (8) and move the jig side-to-side in the miter track.
Then lock it in place by fully tightening the Five-Star Knobs.
