Drilling Ends
Unobstructed end
When you are securing the end of a board and
you can position the Deck Jig past the board
(that is, when the Deck Jig is not obstructed by
a wall), use the center drill guide (1) for superior
strength.
Drilling 45° Decking
When you are securing deck boards at a 45°
angle from the joists, place the center drill
guide (1) at the intersection of the joist and the
deck board.
Then drill using the dashed line as an alignment
guide.
Drilling a Splice Joint
When you are creating a splice at the center of
a joist, use an angled drill guide (2) to get the
strongest joint possible.
For correct hole placement, align the edge of
the jig with the splice, as shown.

Obstructed end
When you are securing the end of a board but
the Deck Jig cannot be positioned past the
board because of a wall obstruction, use either
of the angled drill guides (2), as shown.
