ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
MOUNTING THE POCKET HOLE JIG
It is recommended that the pocket hole jig is mounted for safety and
stability during operation.
1. Secure the pocket hole jig to a wooden workbench by inserting the four
included mounting screws (Fig. 1 - 1) through the four recessed mount-
ing holes (Fig. 1 - 2) in the base.
NOTE:
This unit also comes equipt with a portable L base. The portable L
base allows you to drill pocket holes in a more compact manner. Refer to
p. 9
for portable L base instructions.
SETTING UP YOUR WORKPIECE
1. Loosen the drill guide locking knob (Fig. 2 - 1) to move the drill guides
(Fig. 2 - 2) to the desired drilling location.
2. Align the indexing lines on the back of the drill guides with the ruler on
top of the mounting bracket (Fig. 2 - 3).
3. Secure the drill guides in the proper drilling location by re-tightening
the drill guide locking knob.
4. Place your workpiece (Fig. 3 - 1) between the drill guides (Fig. 3 - 2)
and the toggle clamp (Fig. 3 - 3).
5. Push the toggle handle (Fig. 3 - 4) inward to move the toggle clamp
toward the workpiece.
6. Finely adjust the toggle clamp by turning it clockwise until it is securely
butted up against the workpiece.
7. Pull the toggle handle (Fig. 4 - 1) outward to unclamp the workpiece.
8. Turn the toggle clamp about one to one and a half more rotations
clockwise to ensure a tight clamp on the workpiece.
9. Tighten the clamp nut (Fig. 4 - 2) against the clamp sleeve by turning
it counter-clockwise until the nut is flush against the sleeve. This will lock
in the toggle clamp position.
10. Re-place your workpiece (Fig. 4 - 3) between the drill guides and the
toggle clamp.
11. Push the toggle handle inward to secure the workpiece between the
toggle clamp and drill guides.
NOTE:
Secure workpiece only as tightly as needed. Overtightening the
toggle clamp can damage wood pieces, especially soft woods.
