OPERATION
Marking Out of Hinge
n Adjust size of door to suit door opening.
n Lay door down on its edge with the edge that
requires the hinges to be fitted uppermost.
Hold the door in this position using a block and
wedge or clamping work bench.
n Measure down from top of door 150mm and
mark with a pencil. This is the top of the top
hinge.
n Measure up from bottom of door frame 230mm.
This is the bottom of the bottom hinge.
If a middle hinge is required position this in the
middle.
152mm
(6”)
n Place hinge on edge of door, ensuring it is on
the correct side. The knuckle should overhang.
n Draw around hinge. Repeat for other hinges.

line. This line is used to position the template,
allowing for the offset between cutter and guide
bush.

damage is noticeable or suspected.
5. The maximum speed (nmax) marked on tool or in instructions
or on packaging shall not be exceeded. Where stated, the
speed range should be adhered to.
6. Insert the shank into the router collet at least all the way to
the marked line indicated on the shank. This ensures at least
3/4 of shank length is held in collet. Ensure clamping surfaces
are clean.
7. Check all fixing and fastening nuts, bolts and screws on
power tool, attachment and cutting tools are correctly
assembled, tight and to correct torque setting before use.

any project.
12. Repair of tools is only allowed according to tool
