The template is adjustable from front to back so that the
joint will be hidden when the dovetails are complete.
Adjustment is made by loosening the two template lock
knobs. Do not adjust the screws holding the template.
To adjust the template to the proper position:
1. Mount your drawer pieces in the jig. The horizon-
tal piece must be tight and flush with the top of the
vertical piece. When mounted correctly, the top
edge of the vertical piece sits flush with the top of
the horizontal piece. See Figure 11.

are
