Safety Instructions
Before Cutting
• It is essential to familiarise yourself fully with the correct procedure for
setting up the jig before attempting to start the cut
• Before using this jig we recommend that you perform a few practice
joints with off-cuts of worktops or other materials to familiarise yourself
with the jig
• Children and animals should always be kept at a safe distance from your
work. Make your work area child proof
• Always unplug your power tools from the mains power supply before
setting up, changing accessories, making adjustments or maintenance
• Always connect your router and other power tools to a dust extraction
system, to maintain a safe and clean work environment
• Sweep away residual saw dust after each cut to prevent the work area
from becoming slippery
• Always ensure that the worktop is supported properly and secured firmly
to a bench or trestle before cutting
• Ensure that the jig is firmly clamped to the surface of the work top
• Make sure the work area is completely clear so that there is the
maximum amount of workspace available
• Each cut should be made from left to right
• The cutter must always enter through the post-formed (front) edge,
except when producing the bolt holes
• When plunging the router, make sure each cut is a maximum of 8mm
deep
• Do not use a blunt router cutter as this will severely affect the quality of
the final joint
During Cutting
• Always wear adequate personal protection equipment, including eye
protection, ear defenders and a dust mask, when setting up and using a
router and other power tools
• Make sure that the path of the router is kept clear of any obstructions
• Make sure that the pegs are firmly in position and are not proud of the
jig's surface
• Ensure that the power cable of the router is clear of the jig and is of
sufficient length
• Always ensure the cutter is not touching the workpiece when starting
the router
• Do not force the router to work too fast. This will result in a poor quality
finish and can damage the router cutter
• Allow the cutter to come to a complete stop before removing the router
from the jig
• Always keep the router base flat on the jig's surface. Failure to do so
could result in the joints not matching up
• Do not over-reach the jig. Keep a stable footing at all times
