I am at loss in understanding the instructions.
I followed steps 1 and two on page five.
#3 "Place the Dovetail Template on the end of the work. Locate the slot of the Template to correspond with the locations desired for the dovetail sockets and clamp the backing block securely to the work. For precise locating: scribe the center line of the dovetail socket. Project the scribe line to the end of the work piece. Measure 5/16 (for model 1601 to one side of the center line and scribe a second mark. This mark will then line up exactly with one edge of the slot of the Template. (The slots widths are 2X the measured distances.)
I have no idea what this means. Do I do this to the template? It should be fully understood I am greatly handicapped when it comes to understanding directions.
Be gentle.
Thank you
