Porter Cable 59370 Instrucciones

The 59370 Door Hinge Template is
designed to cut out areas for the hinge on
both doors and door frames.
GETTING STARTED
Make sure your door fi ts the frame opening.
Between the door and frame, there should
be a 1/8" clearance on top (See Fig. 1) and
knob side and 1/16" clearance on hinge
side.
HINGE LENGTH
Set template to the proper hinge size by
setting both adjustable guides (one shown
at (A) Fig. 2) to the proper stop. There are
stops (B) in the guide to accommodate
hinges from 6" to 2-½" in length, in half-inch
increments. To resize the guides, pull down
through each stop to the desired length.
Never move guides back
toward the 6" mark if you want to resize.
When moving guides from smaller to a
larger setting, pull guides beyond the 2-½"
mark until tabs are clear, reinsert them at
the 6" stop and move them to desired hinge
length.
CHOOSING THE HINGE SHAPE
For 5/8" radius hinge, position guides (C) as
shown in Fig. 3. For 1/4" radius and square
corner hinges, position guides (D) as shown
in Fig. 4.
DOOR THICKNESS
Move peg (E) Fig. 2 to proper door thickness
stop (F) (1-3/8" to 2-½"). Once peg is in
place, twist clockwise to lock. Repeat for
other end.
SET BIT DEPTH
Make sure the router is
disconnected from power supply.
With the router bit installed turn the router
upside down and place the template and
hinge on top of the sub-base as shown
in Fig. 5. Adjust the bit depth so that the
bottom of the bit is fl ush with top of the
hinge.
NOTE: Bit included is ½" cutting diameter with 5/8"
diameter bearing. (Recommended replacement bit is
Porter-Cable model 43671PC.)
NOTE: If you are installing a replacement door, skip to
"MARKING THE DOOR."
MARKING HINGE LOCATIONS
For top hinge, measure down from inside of door frame
to top edge of desired hinge location (G) Fig. 6 and make
a mark. From this mark, measure down one-half of hinge
length and mark center as shown.
For bottom hinge, measure up from fl oor to bottom edge
of desired hinge location and make a mark (H) Fig. 7.
From this mark, measure up one-half of hinge length and
mark center as shown.
NOTE: For two hinge installation, the top hinge is typically
5" to 7" from the top and 10" to 11" from the fl oor. For a
third or middle hinge, mark where the center of this hinge
would be located.
ROUTING FRAME WITH TEMPLATE
Place template edge to frame as shown in Fig. 8. Align
template center mark (I) to center mark (J) on door frame.
Nail template fi rmly in place at holes (K) and (L) using
supplied three-penny double-headed nails.
Read your router's instruction manual before
cutting the hinge area.
Route the hinge area on the frame. Start routing along the
edge of the frame in the center (M) Fig. 8 of the template
and continue clockwise until all material is removed. Use
a claw hammer to carefully pull nails straight out and
remove template from frame.
NOTE: If single-headed replacement nails used, insert
claw hammer under the lip (N) Fig. 9 that extends off the
end of the template to raise nail head above template.
Then insert claw under the nail head (O) and carefully
remove nail.
Rout remaining hinge areas following above procedure.
NOTE: For square-cornered hinges, chisel corners to fi t
hinge. (Fig. 11)
MARKING THE DOOR
Once hinge areas are routed, temporarily install hinges
onto frame. Keeping proper clearances as described in
Fig 12, hold door into frame opening and mark top and
bottom (P) of each hinge on the door as shown in Fig.
12.
Take down door and remove hinges from frame. Clamp
door to a work bench. Measure and mark each hinge
center line (Q) on door edge, as shown in Fig. 12 and
Fig. 13.
ROUTING DOOR WITH TEMPLATE
Place template to door as shown in Fig. 13. Align template
center mark (R) to center mark (Q) on door. Nail template
fi rmly in place at holes (S) and (T) using supplied three-
penny double-headed nails.
Read your router's instruction manual before
cutting the hinge area. Don't hold door while routing.
Make sure door is secured fi rmly before routing.
Route the hinge areas on the door, following same
procedure as described in "ROUTING FRAME WITH
Template."
FINISHING THE JOB
Install hinges on door and hang door to frame.
