Depth Collar Setup - Kreg Deck Jig KJDECKSYS20 El Manual Del Propietario

Depth Collar Setup

Before drilling your first hole, you must set the depth collar on both the drill bit and the driver
bit. The depth collars help you achieve the proper hole and screw depth, ensuring the strongest
possible joint with minimal exposure to the elements.
Note Follow the instructions for either non-grooved or grooved decking, depending on the type
of boards you are using for your project.
Tip After initial depth collar setup, check the settings from time to time to ensure that each depth
collar is still set correctly.

Set the Depth Collar on the Drill Bit
This depth collar controls hole depth and the position where the "shoulder" stops the screw.
For non-grooved decking:
a. On the Deck Jig (A), locate the gauge (1)
labeled "Drill Bit Setting."
b. Place a depth collar (H) into the recessed
slot and use a hex wrench (I) to hold it in
position.
c. Slide the drill bit (F) through the depth
collar (H) until the shoulder (2) of the drill
bit (F) aligns with the dashed line.
d. Use the hex wrench (I) to tighten the
depth collar (H) to the drill bit (F) securely.
