Position the Stop Collar
Place the stop-collar setting block (L) on the jig base in
front of the drill guide. Slide the step bit (I) into one of the
drill guide bushings and drop the pilot tip into the hole in the
block that corresponds to the length of the screw you’ll be
using. With the step bit shoulder resting on the block, slide
the stop collar (J) onto the drive-end of the bit so it rests on
the drill guide. Tighten the stop collar set screw with the hex
wrench (K).
Use the chart below as a guide for positioning the drill-bit
stop collar when using the standard drill guide and bit as
well as the optional Micro Pocket Drill Guide and bit and
