⁄ 4 " [38mm] wood screws (included) to
lightly attach the first pin plate with its left edge flush to the
line on the top of the beam

. Note: The pin plate is moved up
from the drilling position (see 1-6) to align the screw slots in
the pin plate with the pre drilled holes
1-10 Pin Plate “Pin” The template has positioning holes that
allow it to sit perfectly on top of the raised pin
A
of each pin
plate. The pin plate sits flat on the beam
B
. Note: When the
sacrifical board

is installed, the top of the pin plate will be
level with the top of the sacrificial board.

latch assembly: the latch screw

and the plastic
latch
C
. Press the nyloc nut into the hexagon opening in the top
of the plastic latch with the white nylon insert facing up. Next,
screw in the latch screw from the bottom of the latch. Do not
tighten the screw at this time.

1-8 Square a second line across the beam board exactly 7"
[178mm] from the right edge of the first pin plate

. Clamp
the second pin plate

flat on the workbench and against the
line. Repeat the drilling and attaching procedure as before.
Repeat this procedure for each successive pin plate.

the pin plates

. Adjust the latch screw tension so that the
latches are stiff to turn onto the plates (seen from underside of
the template).
