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
