Before Use
WARNING: Always adhere to all safety advice and instructions for any power tool
used in conjunction with this product.
Mounting
• It is recommended that this jig be mounted to a bench before use
• The jig can be clamped to a bench, or it can be fixed using suitable screws through
the Countersunk Bench Mount Holes (6)
• The jig can also be fixed to a portable mounting board that would be clamped to a
suitable workbench, which makes the jig portable and secure
Dust extraction
• The Magnetic Dust Extraction Adaptor (11) clips on to the magnets on the Guide
Block (2) (Fig. I)
• A suitable dust extraction system or vacuum can be attached
• Turn ON the dust extractor/vacuum prior to drilling
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
GB
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.

is flush against the Drill Guide then stop drilling and remove from the drill guide
(Fig. VIII)
