PH/JIG
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENT
The Pocket Hole Jig is used with an electric or
cordless drill with a minimum 10mm chuck
capacity. It is ideally suited for use with 19mm
(3/4") thick material because the distance from
the base of the jig to the drill guide, combined
with the angle of the screws, causes the screw
to exit the 19mm material at its centre.
A pocket hole concept involves placing one
piece of the material to be joined in the jig and
boring two counter-bored holes with a special
stepped drill. This piece of material is joined to
the other piece and assembled with 30mm long
self-tapping screws, which once driven into the
material will provide a strong joint. No pilot hole
is required, but wood glue should be used to
provide a strong long lasting joint. The screw
removes the need for clamping and the
component can be handled whilst the glue is
drying.
An accessory stepped drill bit with collar is
available with a Snappy 1/4" hex quick-change
fitting, which allows faster tool change
(Ref. SNAP/PHD/95)
Setting Up The Jig
The Pocket Hole Jig can be used both fixed to a
bench or portably depending on the
application.The most common position is
screwed to a bench and with the material
clamped into the jig.
In the fixed bench position it is advisable to
secure material the same thickness as the jig,
either side of the jig body. This makes it easier
to slide large components into the jig and also
prevents it tipping.

Always remove plug from power
source before making any
adjustments.
The built-in push-pull clamp arrangement allows
both hands to be free for drilling in both
applications.
For use portably, the jig can be clamped to the
actual component. This is necessary for large or
heavy components.
