Safety Guidelines
• Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when it is practical and safe. Using the proper tool may
allow you to free both hands for tool operation. Also, be sure to never overreach.
• Secure your tools. In the event of the machine tipping or sliding, it is always recommended to secure your tools to
the machine, or in another safe location, during use.
• Keep the proper footing and balance. Ensure that you are in no danger of slipping or sliding once you turn the
machine on. Once again, non-slip footwear is highly recommended.
• Maintain tools in top condition. Keep tools sharp, clean, and properly maintained for the highest quality and safest
performance. Remember to properly follow all lubrication and accessory maintenance practices, as detailed in this
Instruction
Manual.
• Disconnect tool before servicing. When changing accessories such as bits, clamps, etc., making any sort of physical
assessment of the tool, or when motor is being mounted/connected, remember to disconnect the machine from
its power source. This will reduce the possibility of accidentally engaging the machine.
• Use recommended accessories only. Use of any additional accessories (add-ons) is strictly at your own risk. This
machine was designed with only the use of Kreg certifi ed parts in mind. Use of uncertifi ed accessories may be
hazardous.
• Avoid accidental starting. Make sure power switch is positioned at “OFF” and that no one is located near the
machine, before plugging in the power cord.
• Never stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is contacted.
Do not stand on top of the machine for any reason.
• Check for damaged parts. Before use of the machine, a careful assessment of all guards and other parts should
be made to ensure that it will operate properly, and perform as intended. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A
guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced as soon as possible, preceding any
additional use. Do not use the machine if you are not qualifi ed to make these sorts of assessments.
• Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn the machine’s power “OFF” after operation. Do not leave
the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• Drugs, alcohol, medication warning. Do not operate tool while under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol, or any
medications.
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
