Page 2: Before You Start
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. - Page 3 • When clamping in position check the pegs are still in contact with the worktop as certain types of clamp can cause the jig to creep out of position if over tightened. • The guide bush should be set to a depth of 11mm to allow maximum contact with the jig without fouling the worktop surface.
