The MILWAUKEE Door and Jamb Butt Template is for use with a router equipped with a templet guide to cut mortises for hinges on 1-3/4", 2",

Fig. 1 1

and 2-1/4" thick doors that are 6'6", 6'8" and 7' long. It can also be used on jambs with or without a door stop installed. Mortises for 1-3/8" doors can also be cut provided the door stop has not been installed. Hinge size is adjustable from 2-1/2" to 5-1/2".

Kit includes:

1Upper frame housing (with top gauge assembly)

2Lower frame housing

2 Link rail

15/8" Template guide for use with MILWAUKEE 49-54-1040 subbase.

12Extra nails

Setup for Common Hinge Spacing

1.	Place the hinge butt template on a workbench or suitable surface. Be
	sure the arrows on the side rails (7) face the same direction.
2.	Measure the door thickness. Insert the door thickness screws (4) into
	the threaded hole that corresponds to the measured door thickness.

3. Measure the hinge to be used. Adjust each assembly for hinge length

by inserting the hinge length pin (9) in the hole corresponding to the

measured hinge. Place the hinge between the hinge length pin and the

hinge length guide (6). Adjust the hinge length guide until it touches the

hinge and tighten the two screws (5). Remove the hinge. Repeat with

other two assemblies.

4. Adjust the top gauge assembly in the	Fig. 2			Standard
upper frame housing for the desired				Location of

distance from the top of the door to
the first hinge (Fig. 2).

5. Measure the door length. Place one of
the link rails (11) into the upper frame	Equal
housing and tighten the link lock screw
(2) at the appropriate door height im-
printed on the rail.
NOTE: Align the markings on the rails
with the "READ HERE" arrow (10) on	Equal
the assemblies. Tighten the link lock
screw into the appropriate hole.

6.Position the second assembly so the arrow on the side rail faces the same

direction as the first assembly. Place the second assembly onto the link rail.

Read the nameplate and determine

which Hinge Length Scale to use on the link rail according to the door height. Secure the link lock screw at the appropriate hinge length.

7. Position the second link rail so the arrows on the nameplate face the same direction as the first link rail. Place the second link rail into the second assembly and tighten the link lock screw (2) at the appropri- ate door height imprinted on the rail.

8.Position the third assembly so the arrow on the side rail faces the same direction as the first assembly. Place the third assembly onto the link rail. Secure the link lock screw at the same Hinge Length used with the second assembly.

Uncommon Spacing of Hinges on Doors and Jambs

The template is physically adaptable to uncommon hinge spacings, but the markings on the link rails will not necessarily apply. Follow the same procedures as above, except mark the hinge locations on the edge of the door and adjust the frame and rail sections to correspond. Always work down from the top of the door.

Attaching the Template Guide

The included router template guide is for use with MILWAUKEE routers equipped with subbase 49-54-1040. Other routers may require different accessories.

Use the correct template guide for your hinges. When mortising for a rounded corner hinge, the mortising bit, template guide and hinge corner radii must match. When mortising for a square corner hinge, use the smallest radius mortise bit to leave the minimum material to be chiselled out.

Unplug the tool. Attach the template guide according to the template guide instructions and the instructions in the Router Operator's Manual.

Adjusting the Router

1.Insert the bit according to the instructions in your Router Operator's Manual. However, DO NOT insert the bit all the way into the collet. Insert only 1/2" of the bit shank before properly tightening the collet. You will need the extra length for mortising.
