Using the Kreg Concealed Hinge Jig is quite straightforward. First, pick out the concealed hinges you want to use. Then, look up the basic mounting instructions that come with them. Next, set up the jig by adjusting the pair of built - in cams according to the hinge requirements. Once it's set up, you can use any ordinary hand drill. Insert the included carbide - tipped bit into the drill. Place the jig on the cabinet door where you want to install the hinge. The indexing tabs will help you position the hinge accurately. Start drilling, and the depth stop collar will ensure the cup hole is drilled to the right depth. For the hinge - mounting screws, you'll need a 1/16' bit (not included). Just use the holes on the jig to guide the bit for drilling the screw holes. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the jig and the drill bit with a dry cloth to remove any sawdust or debris. Store the jig in a dry place to prevent rust or damage. If the carbide - tipped bit becomes dull over time, you may need to replace it for optimal performance. And remember, it has a 1 - year warranty, so if you have any issues, reach out to the manufacturer.
