Once you determine where you want your pocket holes drilled, place workpiece so the wood
is flush with the base (H) of the jig and the back wall (X), as shown in Figure 8.
The center lines on the drill guide bushings (I) Figure 9 will show you the right-to-left position
of the holes you want to drill. The left guide bushing (Y) can be adjusted. To do this:
Turn bushing adjustment knob (G) counterclockwise to move drill guide bushings (I) closer
together. To move drill guide bushings further apart, turn the knob clockwise.
WORKPIECE STOP (FIG. 10–12)
You can use the right side workpiece stop (Z) Figure 10 if you are cutting similar sets of pocket
holes into multiple boards of the same width.
1. Position the workpiece and bushings as described in Clamping the Wood.
2. Position the right-to-left stop (Z) against edge of workpiece by turning screw (AA).
3. Tighten the screw in place by turning lock knob (BB) against the stop assembly as shown.
This provides a repeatable stop.
NOTE: When drilling long pieces, a standard 2 x 4 is proper height to provide support out
to the side of the jig when used, as shown in Figure 11. Also, the stop (Z) Figure 12 can be
removed from the jig and screwed down to the workbench to provide a repeatable stop for
long pieces.
ROTATING CLAMP HANDLE (FIG. 13)
After positioning the workpiece properly left to right, you need to clamp it down using the
rotating clamp handle (D). To do this:
1. Grasp the rotating clamp handle (D) and push down until drill guide bushings (I) stop
against the workpiece. Ensure that adequate force is used to register the bushings evenly
against the board.
2. While holding the rotating handle in this position, to tighten, turn it clockwise until it stops.
3. Grab workpiece and check if it is clamped securely.
NOTE: Be sure the repeat lever handle (E) is in the down position.

SCREW LENGTH INDICATOR (FIG. 13)
At this point, you can read the screw length indicator (DD) to see what length of screws your
pocket hole will need.
If the indicator (DD) falls anywhere between a set of lines on the scale, use the length shown
in between those lines. If the indicator falls on a line, you can use the screw lengths on either
side of that line.
An assortment of screws of various lengths is included with your jig, or you can buy your own
replacements using the following specifications:
• #7 and #8 wood screws between 1" and 2-1/4" long.
NOTE: Use the length indicated by the screw length indicator.
• Head is not bigger than 3/8" in diameter.
• Use coarse thread for soft woods (i.e., pine) and fine threads for hard woods (i.e., oak).
• To use included square driver, make sure the screw heads are #2 square heads.
NOTE: Refer to the following table for a list of standard wood thicknesses and screws
recommended.
DRILLING THE POCKET HOLES
To avoid personal injury:
• Do not lock the drill on during drilling.
• Keep both hands on drill during operations.
• Be sure the QUIKJIG Pocket Hole Joinery System is clamped securely to a sturdy
workbench or table before use.
