It is easier if the female joint is cut first, leaving the gap intended for the male part of the worktop.

Position your worktop jig onto the laminate referring back to the instructions on 45 joints. Subtract 293mm from the intended length - (this dimension is engraved on the jig and relates to the distance from the bottom edge of the jig to where the edge of the cut will be). E.g. 1000mm 292 = 708mm Position the worktop jig 708mm from the opposite end of the laminate you re cutting (see bottom left diagram) After the cut, a 1000mm length laminate is left. Change the 1000mm figure used in this example for whatever length you require.

Right Hand 45 Male Joints DIAGRAM X MALE JOINT- LAMINATE FACE UP Protecting the Environment Separate Collection This product must not be disposed of with normal household waste. Should you find one day that your DEWALT product needs replacement, or it is of no further use to you, do not dispose of it with household waste. Make this product available for separate collection. Separate collection of used products and packaging allows material to be recycled and used again. Re-use of recycled materials helps prevent environmental pollution and reduces the demand for raw materials. 7. CUTTING METHOD Position the router in the far left side of the slot. Set the router to cut a depth of 10mm. 8. IMPORTANT - Position the router in the slot and cut from left to right, pulling the router against the edge of the slot closest to you. 9. Remove the router, and start again from the far left of the central slot, but increase the depth a further 10mm. DIAGRAM Y 10. Follow steps 7 9, until cut is complete. For the final finishing cut, position the router again in the far left side of the slot, and set the router to cut at the full depth of the worktop. Again, cut from left to right but apply the pressure to the edge furthest away from you Local regulations may provide for separate collection of electrical products from the household, at municipal waste sites or by the retailer when you purchase a new product.

Again, cut from left to right but apply the pressure to the edge furthest away from you. Before starting... Never cut worktop to length until all joints are complete and have been checked for correct fit. Make sure the worktop is secured firmly to the bench or trestle. Ensure that the jig is firmly secured to the worktop. Ensure there are no obstructions in the path of the router e.g. clamps or bench. Always use good quality sharp router bits Always wear eye protection when cutting. Always wear ear protection if cutting for long periods Always cut from left to right. Always cut into post formed edge to avoid breakout or chipping. Always keep the router vertical to the jig and worktop. Never exceed 10mm depth of cut in one pass. Never remove the router from the jig or position the router whilst cutter is still rotating. The cutter may cut into the jig and damage the bush location faces. This jig will enable you to cut.

Cutting to Length for 90 Joints only 90 Male Joints - Left Side 1000mm Intended location of worktop with male cut When producing a male joint, left or right handed and where the worktop turns through 90, the position of the cut jig has to be calculated. It is easier if the female joint is cut first, leaving the gap intended for the male part of the worktop. Example The female joint has already been cut (see left diagram) and the length of the male worktop needed is 1000mm (1 metre). Position your worktop jig onto the laminate referring back to the instructions on 90 joints. Subtract 277mm from the intended length (this dimension is engraved on the jig and relates to the distance from the bottom edge of the jig to where the edge of the cut will be). E.g. 1000mm 277 = 723mm Position the worktop jig 723mm from the opposite end of the laminate you re cutting (see bottom left diagram) After the cut, a 1000mm length laminate is left. Change the 1000mm figure used in this example for whatever length you require. DIAGRAM D MALE JOINT LAMINATE FACE DOWN DIAGRAM E 1.
