II. COMMENTARY
Woodstock International, Inc. is proud to offer
the W1099 12" Dovetail Jig. Suitable for pro-
duction work or small scale dovetail joinery, the
Model W1099 enables you to simultaneously cut
5/8" half-blind dovetails and pins with a router,
guide bushing, and dovetail bit. The Dovetail Jig
handles stock up to 11/4" thick and 12" wide and
mounts easily to your bench top. Heavy, stamped
steel construction provides excellent rigidity and
strength, while the horizontal and vertical cam
action clamps securely hold your wood in place.

acteristics as possible. Take as much time as
necessary to become acquainted with the W1099
Dovetail Jig. The time you invest before you use

If you do not understand any of the operations
or safety guidelines discussed in this manual,

photographs illustrated in this manual represent
the Model W1099 as supplied when the manual

III. SAFETY RULES FOR ALL TOOLS
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the
owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s
applications and limitations, as well as its
particular hazards.
2. KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE and in
working order.
3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If an adapter is
used to accommodate a two-prong receptacle,
the adapter plug must be attached to a known
ground. Never remove the grounding prong.
4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Make it a habit to check that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from the machine before turning it on.
5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered
areas and benches invite accidents.
6. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.
Do not use power tools in damp or wet loca-
tions or expose them to rain. Keep your work
area well lighted.
7. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY.
All children and visitors should be kept a safe
distance away from your work area.
8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with
padlocks, master switches, or by removing
starter keys.
9. DO NOT FORCE TOOL. Tools work better
and more safely when they are allowed to
work at their own speed.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry
that might get caught in moving parts. Non-
slip footwear should be worn. Wear a hat
or other protective head wear if your hair is
long.
11. NEVER STAND OR LEAN ON TOOL.
12. USE SAFETY GLASSES AND EAR PRO-
TECTION. Also use a DUST MASK if the
cutting operation is dusty.
13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION.
Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricat-
ing and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER
before servicing and when changing acces-
sories, such as blades, bits, and cutters.
16. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make
sure the switch is in the “OFF” position
before plugging in the cord.
17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Do not oper-
ate the machine until you are certain it is in
perfect running condition.
18. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING
UNATTENDED - TURN POWER OFF.
Do not leave the tool until it comes to a full
stop.
19. DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL IF USING
DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION.
20. DO NOT WORK IN HASTE or operate
machine if you are mentally or physically
fatigued.
21. IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU DO NOT
KNOW OR UNDERSTAND, DO NOT
OPERATE MACHINE! Ask for help first.
Confusion can be dangerous.
22. BAD HABITS ARE DANGEROUS. Review
all safety procedures often.
These safety rules cannot cover every situation in a
woodshop. Consider your conditions when setting
up and using your jig.

IV. UNPACKING
- 4 - Woodstock Intl., Inc. W1099
Remove the items packed in the carton. It may be
a good idea to save the carton and packing material
in case they might be needed in the future. Upon
removal of all items from the package, you should
have:
1. Dovetail Jig
2. Hand Levers (2)
3. Manual
Figure 1 shows the dovetail jig with handles.
A. HAND LEVERS
The jig is shipped fully assembled except for the
two hand levers. Screw the threaded end of each
hand lever into the clamping rods located on the
top and front of the dovetail jig. Tighten until
secure. Figure 1.
B. MOUNTING
1. Place the jig on your bench top so the front
lap rests against the front of the bench top.
2. Locate the mounting holes in the rear of the
jig. Scribe the hole locations and determine
whether to use nuts and bolts, or lag screws.
Drill the appropriate size holes.
3. Secure the jig to your bench top. Screws can
be tightened by inserting a long screwdriver
through the unthreaded holes in the back of
the jig.
Hint: If you do not wish to permanently devote
bench space to the dovetail jig, mount the jig to a
piece of 3/4" plywood that can be clamped to your
bench top.
