Axe jig

[guyos]

I have bought the axe jig and tried to sharpen 2 small hatchets.

I am not clear on how to set the hatchet in it, there were no instructions. How should I register it? Should the tool rest on the rear of the jig  or up against the black piece on the front, there is a lot of difference. it says press with the palm of your hand, but holding up on to the black piece seems to give a better angle, it can be fiddly, I have made a wedge to force it on to the front , is there a better way to handle it?
I did manage to sharpen both hatchets, but was not accurate with the angles.

Any advice appreciated.

Here's a link to the instructions from the handbook, showing how the tool should fit in the jig.
