Position the Stop Collar
Place the step bit in the set-up gauge on the jig base,
aligning the step shoulder with the dimension mark that
matches the thickness of your workpiece. Slide the stop
collar onto the end of the bit and position it against the end
of the stop-collar recess. Tighten the stop-collar set screw
with the hex wrench.

Adjust the Clamp Pad
Advance the toggle clamp to the fully clamped position.
Place your workpiece against the drill guide, loosen
the jam nut on the clamp-pad shaft, and finger-tighten
the clamp pad against the workpiece. Unclamp the
toggle and advance the clamp pad 1½ to 2 turns.
Test for adequate clamp pressure, make any necessary
adjustment, and tighten the jam nut.

In addition to the proper Kreg Jig
important part of getting a strong joint. The Kreg Jig
to do this in a variety of workpiece widths without the need to reposition the workpiece after drilling
each hole. Use the guide below to determine how to position your workpiece for drilling pocket holes.
1" to 2" Wide Material
(25mm to 51mm Wide Material)

Use B and C guides
For wide parts such as panels, we recommend placing the first pocket hole 2" (51mm)
from the panel edge and every 6" (152mm) to 8" (203mm) on centre after that. When
drilling panels, you can use any drill guide hole.
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 ¼" (6mm). 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. A shop vacuum connected to the vacuum port (included with the
K4MS) quickly removes the wood chips and the hole can be drilled in one motion. When
not using a vacuum port, partially withdraw the bit several times while drilling the pocket
hole 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.
With the pocket holes drilled, position and clamp your parts. Small flat assemblies can
be aligned by clamping them to a flat surface. When using a Kreg face clamp to clamp
large flat assemblies off the edge of your work surface, position the large clamp pad
on the side of the joint opposite the pocket holes. Align the corners of case assemblies,
such as a cabinet or bookshelf, using bar clamps or a Kreg right-angle clamp.
( See Optional Accessories. )
With your assembly securely clamped, drive the pocket screws using a variable-speed
drill/driver and the included 6" (152mm) driver bit. For drills with a clutch, adjust it to fully
seat the screws without over-driving them.
