a second hole 2

Replacement parts
1. Test Pieces
Test the joint with scrap pieces cut from the same stock as
your nal workpiece.
2. Make sure you’re using Kreg Screws
Kreg screws feature sharp, self-tapping tips that slice through
the wood bers instead of forcing them apart.
3. Use the Right Screw Type
Use ne-thread screws in hardwood. These #7 screws
displace less wood than the #8 coarse-thread screws used
for softwood, plywood, MDF, and particleboard.
4. Screw it In, Back it Out
Drive the screw half-way in, back it out to clear excess wood
bers from the hole, and then drive the screw all the way in.
5. Reduce Friction
Apply bee’s wax or other lubricant to the screw to reduce the
friction as the screw enters the workpiece.
6. Clamp Correctly
Center the pads of your Kreg Face Clamp™ on the
joint line with the large clamp pad on the face opposite
the pocket holes. Adjust the clamp to apply enough
pressure to keep the workpieces ush and stable but not
so tight to make clamping dicult.
