Instrucciones de instalación

1. Adjusting the Stop Collar for Material Thickness

The stop collar on the stepped drill bit must be set correctly according to the thickness of your workpiece. This ensures the pocket hole is drilled to the appropriate depth without drilling through the material.

1. Identify the thickness of your material (e.g., 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1-1/2 inches).
2. Slide the stop collar onto the stepped drill bit.
3. Use the provided hex wrench to tighten the stop collar at the corresponding mark on the drill bit for your material thickness. Refer to the markings on the drill bit or the jig for precise alignment.

Instrucciones de funcionamiento

1. Positioning the Mini Jig

The Kreg Mini Jig is designed for versatility, allowing you to create pocket holes in various locations. It does not feature a fixed positioning fence, offering greater flexibility for tight spaces and small projects.

1. Place the Kreg Mini Jig against the edge of your workpiece where you intend to drill the pocket hole.
2. Ensure the jig is firmly held in place. For optimal stability, use a clamp to secure the jig to your workpiece.

2. Drilling the Pocket Hole

With the jig and drill bit prepared, you can now drill the pocket hole.

1. Insert the stepped drill bit into the drill guide of the Kreg Mini Jig.
2. Begin drilling at a moderate speed, applying steady pressure. The drill bit will create a pilot hole and a larger pocket for the screw head.
3. Continue drilling until the stop collar makes contact with the jig, preventing further penetration.
4. Retract the drill bit slowly and carefully.

3. Joining Workpieces

After drilling the pocket holes, you can join your workpieces using Kreg pocket-hole screws.

1. Align the two workpieces to be joined.
2. Insert a Kreg pocket-hole screw into the drilled pocket hole.
3. Drive the screw into the adjoining workpiece using a square-drive bit until the joint is secure.

Mantenimiento

• Limpieza: After each use, remove any sawdust or debris from the Kreg Mini Jig and drill bit. A brush or compressed air can be used.
• Almacenamiento: Store the jig and components in a dry place to prevent rust on metal parts. The kit comes with a small case for convenient storage.
• Drill Bit Care: Keep the stepped drill bit sharp for optimal performance. Replace worn or dull bits as needed.

Solución de problemas

Problem: Screw breaks through the material.

Solución: Ensure the stop collar on the drill bit is correctly set for the thickness of your material. If the material is too thin for standard pocket holes, consider alternative joinery methods or use thinner stock.

Problem: Joint is not strong or gaps appear.

Solución: Verify that the workpieces are clamped securely during drilling and assembly. Use the appropriate length and type of Kreg pocket-hole screws for your material. Ensure the drill bit is sharp and drilling clean holes.
