Using Your Kreg Jig
Clamping
Position the jig with
the slider lugs hooked
on the edge of the
workpiece. A bar clamp
or C-clamp can be used
to secure the jig to the
workpiece.
To drill pocket holes
inside an existing or
already assembled
cabinet, remove
the sliders, flip
them over so the
positioning lugs
will be on the top
of the jig, switch
each slider from one
side of the jig to the
other, and reinstall
them. Adjust the
sliders so the mark on the slider that matches the thickness
of the workpiece aligns with the index mark on the jig body.
(The thinnest workpiece you can drill in this mode is 19 mm [¾"].)
In situations where it is not possible to clamp the jig in place,
secure the jig to the workpiece by driving a wood screw
through the mounting hole. Remember to position the drill-bit
stop collar to match the thickness of your workpiece.

Drilling
In addition to the proper Kreg Jig
holes evenly across the workpiece is an important part of
making a strong joint. The two-hole drill guide allows you to
drill holes in narrow workpieces (38 mm – 48 mm [1½"-1⅞"])
without having to reposition the jig. For wider parts, drill pocket
holes 14 mm [
holes between the edge holes so the distance between holes
does not exceed 152 mm [6"]. For very large parts such as
panels, we recommend placing the first pocket hole 51 mm
[2"] from the panel edge and every 152 mm [6"] on centre
after that.
Before turning on the drill, slide the bit into the drill guide
until the tip of the bit touches the workpiece. Withdraw the
bit about 6 mm [¼"]. Turn on the drill, make sure it is running
at full speed, and feed the bit into the workpiece. Always
run variable-speed or multi-speed drills at the fastest speed.
While drilling the pocket hole, partially withdraw the bit
several times to clear the chips. Stop drilling when the stop
collar contacts the drill guide. Wait until the drill stops rotating
to withdraw the bit from the drill guide.
