![]() ![]() Use the included Allen wrench to loosen the drill bit stop collar, then slide the collar so that the edge closest to the tip of the bit lines up with the measurement that matches the wood’s thickness. If it’s not already there, clip the stepped Kreg drill bit in its respective spot inside the case. Snap clamps work the best, but you can also use a standard screw-style C-clamp. Once you’re satisfied with the jig’s position, clamp it to the wood by positioning one of the clamp’s jaws on the circular piece on the top of the jig and the other on the opposite side of the workpiece. Use the lines engraved on the end of the jig to line up where you want to drill the holes. Next, attach the jig to the workpiece so that the guides extending from the sliders rest flush against the wood’s edge. Remember, you’re setting the jig to the actual thickness of the wood, so if you’re working with a 2×4, for example, you’ll want to set the sliders to the actual thickness of 1-1/2 inches. Set both sliders to match the width of the workpiece by squeezing the ends and sliding them forward or backward until the arrow on the blue part of the jig lines up with the desired thickness. On the sides of the jig are gray sliders with measurements ranging from 1/2 inch to 1-1/2 inch. Set the guide to the proper depthīegin by removing the jig from the carrying case and setting it to the proper depth for your respective workpiece. Open the Kreg R3’s carrying case, and you’ll find the specialty stepped drill bit, square-shaped driver, depth stop collar, Allen wrench, and the jig itself, all neatly organized inside. ![]() ![]() One of the nice things about learning how to use a Kreg pocket hole jig is that all of its pieces fit neatly into a compact carrying case, making it easy to carry to wherever your project might be while keeping all the essential pieces together so they don’t get lost in your woodworking workshop. ![]()
