a. Use the material thickness gauge (C) to determine the material thickness range.
b. Set the stop collar (D) by placing it on the drill bit (B) and aligning the window of
the stop collar (D) with the material thickness range determined in step a.
c. Use the hex wrench (C) to lock the stop collar (D) into place on the drill bit (B).

3 Position Your Workpiece
There are two different methods for aligning your Kreg Jig with your workpiece:
a. Align the center line of any pocket-hole guide (numbers 1, 2, or 3) with the
desired location on your workpiece. For wider panels (over 3-1/2" wide) pocket
holes should be placed 5/8" to 1-1/2" from each edge of the workpiece and then
every 6" to 8".
b. Use the board centering marks (letters A, B, or C) to center two pocket holes on
the workpiece ranging in width from 1-1/4" to 3-1/2" wide. See the table below
for details on each size range.
1 2 3 A B C
Board Width Center Mark Drill Guide
1-1/4" to 1-3/4" C 2 and 3
1-3/4" to 2-3/8" A 1 and 2
2-3/8" to 3-1/2" B 1 and 3
c. Place your workpiece in the jig and squeeze the handle (4) repeatedly to clamp
you workpiece securely into the jig. Proceed to the Operation - Drilling and
Driving Pocket-Hole Screws section to start drilling.
Tip To drill pocket holes on similar
workpieces at a faster pace, see the
Using the Quick Reset Feature section
of the manual.
Tip The handle can be rotated to provide
a comfortable hand position. 4

Operation - Drilling and Driving
Pocket-HoleScrews
1 Drill Pocket Holes
WARNING When drilling, always ensure the workpiece is clamped securely.
a. Place your prepared drill bit (B) with stop collar (D) into your drill.
b. Insert your drill bit into the drill guide (1) and bring your drill up to speed before
contacting the workpiece to ensure correct rotation of the drill bit.
c. Drill until the stop collar (D) stops going any deeper due to contact between the
stop collar (D) and drill guide (1). Remove the drill bit (B) from the drill guide while
the drill bit is still rotating.
d. When done drilling pocket hole(s), pull the trigger (2) to release the clamping
pressure and remove your workpiece.

a. Ensure you are using the correct screw size according to this chart:
Gauged Material
Thickness
Easy-Set
Stop Collar
Material
Thickness Stop
Screw Length
1/2 Range 1/2 1/2 1" (25 mm)
3/4 Range 3/4 3/4 1-1/4" (32 mm)
3/4 3/4 1-1/2" (38 mm)
1-1/2 Range 1½ 1½ 2-1/2" (64 mm)
For more information on screw selections, go to www.Kregtool.com/Screws or
simply scan the QR code on the side of your sample screw package.
Tip A 1" screw is recommended for most applications, but if your workpiece is
on the low end of the range, a 3/4" screw might be required to keep the screw tip
from protruding.
Note If your material thickness falls in the range, use the same setup
techniques as the 3/4" range with a 1-1/2" screw.
b. Clamp joints in place to ensure a better nished joint. These examples show face
joints and edge joints.
WARNING When drilling, always ensure the workpiece is clamped securely.
c. Place your screw on the driver tip (E), position the screw in the pocket hole, and
drive the screw until it is fully seated without overdriving.

Using the Quick Reset Feature
The Quick Reset feature allows you to drill pocket holes on multiple similar
workpieces by limiting the back and forth movement of the clamp for a faster clamp
and release of your workpiece. To use the Quick Reset feature:
a. Squeeze the handle (1) to clamp your workpiece securely in the jig.
b. Tighten the knob (2) by hand until it is tight.
c. Drill your pocket holes.
d. Pull the drill guide release (3) to move the clamp back just enough to release the
workpiece.
e. Align to your next hole location and squeeze the handle (1) two or three times to
quickly re-clamp.
f. Once nished with your similarly-sized workpieces, loosen the knob (2) and pull
the drill guide release (3) to return the clamp to its maximum opening.

Using Your Kreg Jig
a. Your Kreg Jig has been designed to
work in different orientations. You may
nd it more comfortable to work with
your Kreg Jig placed with the end of
the work surface and the handle up
in the air.
b. You can secure the jig in place on your
workbench using the Pocket-Hole Jig
Clamp (1) at the bottom of the jig.
Care and Cleaning
Periodically clean your tool by vacuuming any chips and wood dust.
Keep GripMaxx™ anti-slip surface clean and free of dust by wiping with a damp
cloth.
