Original Instructions
Operation
WARNING: NEVER hold the jig by hand when drilling; it must
be fixed securely to a suitable workbench. Failure to do so could
damage the tool and/or cause serious personal injury.
Note: Generally, set the jig then set the drill depth. Ideally, the drill
tip should emerge close to the middle of the material being drilled.
1. Determine the thickness of the material to be drilled by
measuring with a tape measure (Fig. II) or the 0 – 50mm Side
Scale (7)
2. Slide the Guide Block (2) up to match the thickness of the
material being drilled using the Thickness Guide (10), then lock
in place using the Locking Knobs (9) (Fig. III)
3. Place the Depth Collar (12) on the Step Drill Bit (13) (Fig. IV) and
insert into the Drill Guide (1)
4. When the end of the bit is 2 – 3mm from the Base Plate (8)
(Fig. V) tighten the Depth Collar using the Hex Key (17) but do
not overtighten, then remove the bit from the Drill Guide
5. Insert the workpiece squarely against the Guide Block and
Base Plate and push the Lever Handle (5) forward to clamp the
workpiece (Fig. VI). If there is not enough or too much pressure,
pull the Lever Handle back and adjust the Clamp (3) and Micro
Adjuster (4) by turning them on the thread (Fig. VII), then push
the Lever Handle forward to try to clamp the workpiece again
6. Insert the Step Drill Bit into the power drill and set the drill to
high speed
7. Insert the end of the Step Drill Bit into one of the Drill Guides
and start the drill
Note: If the Magnetic Dust Extraction Adaptor (11) and a suitable
dust extraction system or vacuum are connected, turn this ON prior
to drilling.
8. Drill using a stage cutting action for chip and dust clearance
until the Depth Collar is flush against the Drill Guide then stop
drilling and remove from the drill guide (Fig. VIII)
9. Release the Clamp and remove the workpiece with the drilled
pocket-hole joint (Fig. IX). The piece is ready for the pocket-hole
screws and plugs. See the table below for recommended screw
size
