1.03 Before you start
Please take some time to read through these instructions
and always practice on offcuts until you
achieve a satisfactory result.
Please observe all relevant safety requirements for the use of
routers and never lift the router away from the jig until the cutter has stopped rotating and is fully
retracted.
1.04 How the jig works
Depending on the particular cut required, the pegs are placed in the holes indicated in the
instructions. The jig is offered up to the worktop and clamped in position. The jig is then used to
guide the router. Most cuts are made in stages with the waste being progressively removed,
followed by a final stroke which provides a perfect finished edge.
1.05 Conventions and important points
•
All
references to left and right hand joints in these instructions use the convention described
in the diagram engraved on the face of the jig.
•
Always use a sharp cutter and ensure the guide bush is firmly attached to the base plate.
•
Always work from left to right
never the other way round
.
•
Make sure the pegs are well seated and are not proud of the surface of the jig.
•
Wherever you see letters in
italics
on the jig (e.g.
LF
), this is a reminder that this cut is
performed with the worktop face down.
•
The holes surrounded by a square indicate that a peg should
not
be inserted from this side
when performing any of the cuts.
•
When working with the centre slot the side
nearest
you is
always
used
first
for the waste
removal followed by the side
furthest
from you for the finished edge.
