When cutting a joint, hold the router
guide bush hard against the template
and cut from left to right. It is
recommended that the depth stops of
the router are used to set the depths
of cut. Several shallow passes of
the router should be made and it is
not necessary to lean heavily on the
router or the jig. Allow the weight
of the router to rest on the part of
the template which is resting on
the worktop. Ensure router remains
parallel and upright at all times.
Release plunge on router at end of
each cut.
Ensure working position is comfortable.
Keep proper footing at all times.
The edge of the jig slot that is not used
is notched to act as a visual guide.
Ensure worktop is held securely to
trestles. Ensure jig is clamped securely
to worktop and placed at a suitable and
comfortable work height.
Ensure the router base plate will not foul
the clamps.
