HINGE JIG & H/JIG/A
-10-
Routing Hinge Recesses in the Door
I The door should be laid on its edge with the
hanging edge of the door facing upwards. Use
the conventional block and wedge to keep the
door securely in this position. Alternatively
clamp the bottom of the door into the jaws of a
Black & Decker
®
Workmate
®
.
I Place the Hinge Jig onto the edge of the door.
Ensure that the Jig is placed the correct way
round so that the edge stops are on the
knuckle edge of the door. The swivel end plate
should be at the top of the door.
I Rotate the swivel end plate through 90° and
slide the jig down the door until the swivel end
plate touches the top of the door.
I Push the jig up to the door so that the edge
stops touch the opening face of the door.
I Without letting the jig move, locate the
bradawls into the bradawl holes.
I Hammer the bradawls carefully into the edge
of the door until the nylon spacer fitted to the
bradawls touch the face of the jig.
I Now plug in the router and place the router
with cutter and guide bush fitted into the first
aperture of the jig.
I Switch router on and wait for the motor to
reach full running speed. Electronic speed
controlled routers should be set to the
maximum speed.
The swivel end plate fixing screw may
need to be loosened slightly.
Check the plastic spacer is on each
bradawl before use.
To prevent damaging the jig template
make sure the routers plunge is fully
released after completing the cut.
