If they are not already attached, connect the Perfect Fit
Fence (4) to the Jig Base (2) with the 5/16"-18 x 1" T-Bolts (10)
and the 5/16"-18 x 1" Tall Five-Star Knobs (9) in the outer two
holes (marked “Lock Down Knobs”). Also install the 1/4"-20 x
1" T-Bolts (12) and 1/4"-20 Knurled Knobs (11) in the slots in
the Jig Base marked “Dado Thickness Stops.”

Align the holes in the mounting tabs of the Tension Fence (5)
with the slots marked “Fence Adjustment” in the Perfect Fit
Fence (4) and attach the two with the 1/4"-20 x 3/4" Socket
Cap Screws (6), 1/4" Flat Washers (7) and 1/4" Hex Nuts (8),
which fit into the sockets in the bottom of the Tension Fence
mounting tabs.

Reinstall the Router Plate (1) on the Jig Base (2) with the eight
#10-24 x 7/16" Flathead Screws (3). Make sure that the router’s
handles won’t obstruct the jig’s knobs or overhang the stepped
area between the Jig Base and the Perfect Fit Fence (4).
Setting Fences to Fit Your Clamp Guide
1.
Engage your clamp guide on a flat piece of plywood or other
sheet material. Lock it down to keep it from shifting.
2.
Place your Perfect Fit Dado Jig with mounted router on the
clamp guide so that the clamp guide is between the Perfect
Fit Fence (4) and the Tension Fence (5).
3.
If necessary, slightly loosen the two 1/4"-20 x 3/4" Socket Cap
Screws (6) securing the Tension Fence (5). Use the included
Hex Wrench (13).
4.
Make sure that the lower fence on the Perfect Fit Fence (4) is
tight against the edge of the clamp guide and then slide the
Tension Fence (5) so that it’s tight to the other edge of the
clamp guide. Hold the Tension Fence in place and use the
included Hex Wrench (13) to tighten the two 1/4"-20 x 3/4"
Socket Cap Screws (6) securing the Tension Fence. (If working
with narrower clamp guides, screw a straight wooden spacer
block to the Tension Fence [5] using the predrilled mounting
holes.)

5.
Test the fit. The jig should be able to slide along the clamp
guide easily without side-to-side play. If there is play, repeat
Steps 3 and 4 until the proper fit is achieved.
Setting Jig for Your Material
1.
Locate or cut a narrow offcut from the material that will
eventually be glued into the dado you are routing. The
offcut should be no more than 2" wide, and it is crucial
that it is straight – not curved or warped.
2.
Loosen the two 5/16"-18 x 1" Tall Five-Star Knobs (9) and
the two 1/4"-20 Knurled Knobs (11) so you can slide the
Jig Base (2) away from the Perfect Fit Fence (4).
As with most jigs, we recommend testing
the setup on scrap material before machining your final
workpiece.
