Woodhaven 7600-7603: Dovetail Jigs - Manual (Page 4)

BEFORE BEGINNING
Identify and verify that you have all the parts listed. Read the
instructions at least once, familiarizing yourself with the parts and
assembly instructions before beginning. You’ll need a #3 Phillips
screwdriver and a 7/16" wrench for assembly.
Install a nut (NUT005) on each of the four 1-3/4" studs
(SD417), approximately 1/2" from an end. Thread the 1/2"
exposed end of the stud into the threaded hole in each clamp base
(7600D1) until it's end is flush with the rib on the bottom of the
clamp base. Tighten the nut against the clamp base to fix the studs
in position and install a brass knob (5520) on each of the studs.
See fig. 1.
Insert a 2-1/2" bolt (HB058) thru the remaining hole in
the clamp base (from the ribbed side) and install a 3/8" spacer
(BUSH5038) and a spring (SPRING2) on the bolt. Install the
clamp arm (7600D2) on both the stud and the bolt in the clamp
base. Install a 3/8" spacer (BUSH050) and a knob (5560) on the
end of the bolt. Attach the clamp pad (7600D3) to the end of the
clamp arm using two 3/4" screws (5771B). See fig. 1
The standard clamps attach to the clamp base (7600B1)
and the Ultra Track (4418) of the Dovetail Jig. Insert the head on
each bolt (press down on the knob so the bolt head projects far
enough out the bottom of the clamp base) into the T-slot of these
parts and slide the clamp to the position needed. The standard
clamps are held in position by the tension of the spring, allowing
you to slide them in position quickly. See fig. 15-17.
The standard clamps must be adjusted to the thickness of
the stock you are using. Hold the clamp pad flat against the stock
and adjust the brass knob until its just touches the underside of the
clamp arm. Make sure the clamp pad is not angled up or down,
but flat against the stock when clamped. See fig. 2.
As assembled, the standard clamp will hold stock as thin
as 1/2". To hold stock as thin as 3/8", install the 1/8" spacers
(BUSH001 - one per screw) between the clamp arm and the
clamp pad.
Removing either the 3/8" spacer under the knob, the clamp
pad, or both, will allow you to clamp thicker stock.
Do not overtighten the clamp, which is easy to do with the
large knobs, or you may cause damage! The clamps do not require
much pressure to safely hold parts. If you do notice a part move,
it will usually be a horizontal part (drawer front or back) clamped
to the clamp base (7600B1) of the Dovetail Jig. These parts are
more susceptible to movement because the cutting forces are
greater on these parts. Experiment until you develop a sense of
what is adequate clamp pressure.
