JIG ADJUSTMENTS
A2-5 Table Clamp Setting
The setting for this is factory pre-set
using a torque tool. Should you need to adjust the pressure, lock
the table and lightly tighten the two clamp screws equally
➀
. Do
not adjust these screws with the table unlocked. You should be
able to work the table lock lever with quite light pressure. When
locked, it should not be possible to move the table with firm side
to side hand and arm pressure. When unlocked, it should be easy
to position the table without sticking. The screws are treated with
Loctite™ to prevent accidental rotation.

using
the provided hex key. Move the table forward until the rear edge
of the bit opening

A2-7 Jig Maintenance
Very little maintenance is required. Fine
dust build-up in the front and rear sight stops should be removed
from time to time. The end of the small hex key or a piece of wire
will do the trick. At the front
➀
and with the sight to the rear
position at
➁
. Dusting off with compressed air (if available) will
keep the jig clean.

A2-8 The sidestop fence is squared at the factory, but check your first
test joints. If your router/bit is not perfectly perpendicular to the table
adjust the sidestop fence: slightly loosen the 'pivot' screw
➀
and the 'lock'
screw
➁
. Adjust the angle
➂
to match the bit and retighten. Rout test
joints to confirm correct setting. Once locked in this position it should
never need adjusting when used with that same router.
