• Do not operate this machine without the acrylic top securely fastened into place using the provided lock-down screws.
Doing so will ncrease your chances of injury or death.
• Woodworking machines are dangerous, and can cause personal injury if not used properly.
• Read safety instructions and operating instructions for your machine completely, before using products. Using this
system before understanding its safe and proper use could result in serious injury to the operator.
• Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
• For your own safety, read the instruction manual before operating the tool. Learn the tool’s application and limitations
as well as the specifi c hazards distinctive to it.
• Keep all guards and safety devices in proper place while using these products.
• Always wear safety glasses.
• Keep hands well away from the pneumatic clamp and rotating bit when operating the machine.
• Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden slip could cause contact with the rotating bit. Never reach under the
pneumatic clamp pad with either hand to hold down the workpiece.
• As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation and use of the machine. Using the machine
with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result.
• This system was designed for certain applications only. Kreg strongly recommends that this system NOT be modifi ed
and/or used for any application other than for which it was designed. If you have any questions relative to its
application, DO NOT use the machine until you have written, phoned, or e-mailed Kreg Tool and have been advised
accordingly.
• Be aware of kickbacks. Kickbacks occur when the workpiece binds-up while being drilled, causing it to twist, jump, and
possibly become airborne. To avoid kickbacks (and potential injury) always use sharp drill bits, keep the machine aligned
and maintained properly, and adequately secure/support the workpiece.
• Turn machine off before adjusting. Never adjust the fence, swing stop, clamping cylinder, depth stop, drill bit, or any
other part of the machine while it is running.
• Wait for the machine to stop. Make sure the drill comes to a complete stop before adjusting the workpiece or
workpiece-angle.
• Ground electric machines. If your machine is equipped with a three-prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole
electrical receptacle only. If the proper outlet is not available, have one installed by a qualifi ed electrician before use.
Never remove the third prong, and never modify the provided plug in any way.
• Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Be sure to check that all adjusting keys and wrenches are removed from the
machine before turning it on.
• Don’t operate in a dangerous or unclean environment. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them
to rain. Keep work area well-lit, un-cluttered, and clean.
• Keep children and visitors away. All children and visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area, and should
not operate the machine under any condition.
• Make your workshop “child-proof”. Use padlocks, master switches, or any other means necessary to make your work
area safe for children.
• Use the right tool. Never ‘force’ the tool to do work for which it was not intended. If used properly, the tool will
produce better results in less time, under safer conditions.
• Wear proper apparel. No loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or any other jewelry that could possibly
get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is highly recommended, as is protective hair covering. Remember
to always use safety glasses, specifi cally designed as safety wear.
