The Drill Guide is easy to use: hole the drill guide on the material, clamp and drill.
The Tap Guide is easy to use: place tap guide on the work surface, with the "v-groove" side resting on the surface. Insert the tap through the guide into the pre-drilled hole & turn it clockwise. The tap will then be aligning perpendicularly using the guide as the base; this will ensure a straight & accurately tapped hole. Every few turns, back the tap out counter-clockwise to clear the chips.
