Help with a Mast-R-Lift

[Steven J Corpstein]

I just purchased a Jessum Mast-R-Lift and I'm truly baffled by one of the included parts. There is an item in the parts list called a 'Starter Pin', but nothing in the instructions on what it's used for. Someone please enlighten me because I'm stumped and/or braindead.

Steve, there should be a hole on the plate that will accept the pin. You use the pin by holding your work-piece against it and slowly swing it into the router cutter. I rarely use the one that came with my table.

I guess if I were a woodworker instead of a wannabe, I'd have known that. I appreciate your help, now I can go to sleep tonight.

We were all wannabe's at one point.
