6.2 Slotted box joint
a) Inserting the template and fi tting a splinterguard
• Lock the tow swivel segments in the central (vertical) position
with the clamping lever (see Figure 6).
• Open both clamping levers to adjust the height of the template
and press the mount for the templates right down.
• Open the rotary knobs (16.1) to clamp the template and insert
the template.
Caution: The bent rear edge (16.2) of the template must point
upwards.
• Push the template back up to the stop and clamp tight with the
two rotary knobs (16.1)
• Turn the two stops into the positions “FZ 6” and “FZ 10” (16.5).
Align the stops so that the arrows (16.8) lie against the inner
straight side (16.7) of the notches in the template. Clamp the
stops tight with the rotary knobs (16.6).
• Move the template up and place a board of soft wood (16.4) below
the template as a splinterguard.
Note: The splinterguard prevents splintering on the rear side of
the workpiece during routing.
Caution: To avoid damage to the jointing system during routing
and to ensure that the splinterguard functions properly it must
be 5 mm thicker and at least as wide as the workpiece being
processed.
• Push the template down until it lies fl at on the splinterguard
and close the two clamping levers to adjust the height of the
template.
• Align the splinterguard so that it lies fl ush with the front edge
of the base frame and clamp it tight with the upper pressure
beam.
• Screw the splinterguard tight to the template with short wood
screws (16.3).
b) Clamping workpieces
Clamp and process both workpieces to be joined simultaneously
with the front pressure.
Pay attention to the following (see Figure 17):
• Clamp the workpieces so that the faces which are to be joined
lie against one another.
• The sides of the workpieces lie against the stop, offset by one
slot width.
• The workpieces must be pressed against the template from
below.
• In the case of frames (carcasses) the workpieces for the corners
“A” must be placed against the left stop and the corners “B”
against the right stop. The workpieces “1” and “3” must rest
against the splinterguard at the rear, the workpieces “2 and “4”
against the pressure beam at the front.
