Operation
WARNING:
NEVER hold the Jig by hand when drilling; it must
be clamped or screwed securely to the workpiece and a suitable
workbench. Failure to do so could damage the tool and/or cause
serious personal injury.
1. Engage the guide end stop (Fig. XIV)
2. Set the drilling angle by adjusting the position of the jig within
the guide, to align with the relevant setting on the depth gauge
(Fig. I-III)
Note:
Ideally, the drill tip should emerge close to the middle of the
material being drilled.
Note:
The jig is held in the guide using a magnet and secured in
position via 2 pins on the guide. These pins locate with a series of
matching holes on the jig.
3. Lock the depth collar onto the drill bit at the required drill
depth (Fig. IV)
4. Clamp the jig in the required position to the timber and
workbench, using the guide to locate the jig at the correct
distance from the edge (Fig. VI)
Note:
If the clamp does not have a large enough capacity, use an
additional clamp (Fig. VII).
5. Carefully insert the drill in the guide hole, and just before the tip
contacts the workpiece, start the drill and slowly engage the drill
until the depth collar contacts the jig (Fig. VIII)
Note:
Use the drill on the fast setting and maintain a high speed
whilst drilling.
6. For additional pocket-holes, move the jig then clamp and drill
(Fig. VIII). Use the guide to maintain the correct distance from the
edge of the workpiece
7. After drilling all the holes, the piece is ready for the
pocket-hole screws (Fig. IX) and plugs. See the table below for
the recommended screw size
Note:
Use a backing board when assembling a joint (Fig. X).

≥38mm / ≥1-1/2"
60mm / 2-1/2"
Note:
For hard wood use a fine thread, and for soft wood use a
coarse thread.
Note:
• The guide end stop can be reversed and stored when not in use
(Fig. XIV) This allows the guide to be positioned directly against
the adjoined piece of wood (Fig. XV)
• The jig can be used without the guide. Draw a guide line to
assist in correctly aligning the jig to the edge of the workpiece
(Fig. V)
• If it is not possible to clamp the jig, there are holes located on
both the jig and the guide, which can be used to screw the jig or
guide directly to the workpiece (Fig. XVI)
• When planning the placement of your pocket holes, keep in mind
that the screws should go into the edge grain or the face grain,
but not into the end grain (Fig. XVII). Using the end grain can
result in a weak joint
• The Pocket Hole Jig can be used for:
• Drawer construction or repairs (Fig. XI)
• Framing and mitre joints (Fig. XII)
• Joining panels (Fig. XIII)
