SetuP InStructIonS
To familiarize yourself with the jig and
avoid ruining good stock, practice making
a few pocket holes on scrap pieces of
wood before starting your project.
Secure the jig to your workbench or fixed
work surface using the two mounting
holes on the bottom of the jig (Callout 10).
oPeratInG InStructIonS
1. Adjust the height of the drilling platform
for the nominal work piece thickness by
aligning the top of the platform with the
correct line on the scale marked on the
jig body. Secure the platform by hand-
tightening the metal thumbwheel
(Callout 1).
2. To set the drill bit to the correct drilling
length, ensure that the stop collar
(Callout 3) on the step drill bit (Callout 2)
is positioned at the correct height to
prevent drilling into the jig. The tip of the
bit should be close to the platform—but
not touch it. Use the included hex
wrench to loosen/tighten the set screw
on the stop collar.
