OPERATION
Setting the Jig for Hinge Recessing
The jig has adjustments which will require setting
depending on the door size and thickness, as
well as the size and positions of the hinges.
These are all carried out with the hex key
provided with the jig, and with one hinge.
The following setting up operation will only need
to be carried out once for a set of doors having
the same height dimensions and hinge sizes.
Setting the Width of the Recess for
Standard Hinges
n
Loosen the edge stop using the hex key.
n
Place the knuckle of the hinge in the slot as
shown in the diagram, and push in the
direction shown.
n
Move the edge stop so it butts up against the
edge of the hinge.
n
Tighten the edge stop by turning hex key
clockwise.
n
Repeat this sequence for all three edge
stops.
Ensure working position is
comfortable, especially when setting
up the jig and routing a hinge recess
in a door.
