Unlock the two locking knobs (4) see Fig 5 and
position the template so that the tips of the fingers sit
inside the vertically mounted timber by a minimum of
1/16"(1.5mm) for thin timber and 1/8" (3mm) for thick
timber  (see Fig 5).

Set the back stop so that the longest travel the cutter
can make is twice the thickness of the vertically
mounted drawer side pieces, plus the distance from
the centre of the cutter to the edge of the router base
plate that will contact the back stop, less half the
diameter of the cutter (see Fig 5).

Example:-  Using an router with a base width of
110mm, a drawer side 15mm thick and the
standard cutter supplied with its tip diameter of
14.8mm, the distance from the tips of the template 
fingers to the vertical face of the backstop should
be set at (110/2) +(2 x15) – (14.8/2) = 77.6mm.

It is not essential that this setting is exact at this stage
as final adjustments can be made later on.

Ensure that the template and back stop stay in parallel
with the front edge of the jig during this setting 
procedure.
