PH2/8-10SL Double Ended Bit

APPLICATIONS
You may use this tool for the following purpose:
- Installing hinges on wood doors only
INSTRUCTIONS
Set up door:
See Figure 3.
- Cut door to length, if necessary.
- Transfer hinge locations from door frame. Measure from the top of the frame (not the floor) and subtract 1/8 in. from the measurement. Measure hinge length and determine hinge thickness.
- Transferring hinge locations can also be done by laying the old door on top of the new one and marking the locations.
Set up hinge mortiser:
See Figure 4.
- Determine hinge shape. For hinges with 1/4 in. radius corners, do not use corner guides. The router bit will naturally create a 1/4 in. corner radius.
- For hinges with round 5/8 in. radius corners, use the corner guides.
- For hinges with square corners, do not use corner guides.Create route as you would for 1/4 radius hinge. Remove hinge mortiser and use chisel to square off corners.
- Position hinge mortiser over marks for hinges. Clamp hinge mortiser securely to the door.
- Turn clamp screw clockwise to tighten on door.
- Remove the hinge length guide stop and insert in the tabs that correspond to the size of the hinge. Snap into place with arrow pointing to desired length.
- When selecting hinge length using the guide stop, ensure that the arrow is pointing to the desired length. Otherwise, the stop will not be flush with the jig and will not allow the surface to be cleanly routed.
Using router or compact router
: See Figure 5X
WARNING:
Read your router or laminate trimmer instructions before installing bit and operating. Unplug router or trimmer before installing bit or making any adjustments.
- Install router bit (included).
- Set depth using router bit depth gauge, located on outer wall of routing area.
- For hinges 3”, 3-1/2”, & 4” use the router bit depth gauge on the left (which is not as deep).
- For hinges 4-1/2” & 5” use the router bit depth gauge on the right (which is deeper).
- Turn on power tool and remove wood from template area. Using a chisel:
- If using a chisel, begin by scoring the outline of the hinge.
- Remove hinge mortiser.
- Slowly make recesses by first cutting small sections. Then chisel across the grain to remove chips.Repeat steps for each hinge. Attach hinges to door and frame using included tools. Hang door in frame. Using self-centering hinge bit:
- A self-centering hinge bit is included to help pre-drill the hinge screws into the door directly on center. Use a screwdriver or the included double ended driver bit placed in a drill to install the hardware to the door.
