Hole Placement; Drilling A Long Edge - Kreg Deck Jig KJDECKSYS20 El Manual Del Propietario

Hole Placement

The Kreg Deck Jig provides three drill guides to accommodate different situations:
a center guide (1) and two angled guides (2).
General guidelines:
■
Whenever possible, use the center guide
(1) in the center of the joist. This hole
placement provides the strongest joint.
■
When the edge is obstructed or when you
are splicing two boards on the center of a
joist, use either of the angled guides (2).
■
When you cannot position the jig
effectively, drive a face-screw to secure
the board.
Specific situations are described below
Note The suggestions in this section are provided as guidance, only.

Drilling a Long Edge

Unobstructed edge
When you are screwing along the length of the
board with no obstructions, use the center drill
guide (1) aligned with the center of the joist.
Note This hole placement is the most
common type.
Obstructed edge
When the edge of your deck board is
obstructed by a wall, or when the edge is on
the outside of the deck where you cannot use
angled holes, drive your screws from the top
side of the deck board (face-screw).
