Safety Instructions

Warnings:

• Do not operate this machine without the acrylic top securely fastened into place using the provided lock-down screws.
Doing so will increase 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.

R

• 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.

Safety Instructions

Warnings:

• 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.

• For additional security, this machine’s power switch can be ‘locked out’ to prevent unintentional power-on. To do so,
place a lock out device through the round opening behind the green switch. Please note, this is not to be used as an
alternative to unplugging the machine during repairs.

• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord,

DK1100 FE / DK3100 QUICK START GUIDE

Machine-Specifi c Warnings:

• This machine was intended for use with a 20 amp electrical service only. To
reduce the possibility of fi re hazard, only use this machine with a properly
wired 20 amp outlet, indicated by a horizontal notch in the outlet’s left opening
as shown in the picture to the right..

• In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for the electric current. This primarily serves to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. 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.

20 Amp Outlet Required

• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualifi ed electrician or service professional if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt
as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tools plug.

R

• 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. The
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier
the cord.

• The Power Twist belt included with this machine is a ‘directional belt’ which is designed to operate in one direction only. On the belt
there are small black arrows (shown in picture below) which indicate which direction the belt is intended to turn. Facing the front
of the machine, the DK 1100 FE’s belt will turn clockwise, while the DK 3100’s belt will turn counter-clockwise. For
the best possible results, you will need to ‘break-in’ your belt before use. To do this, install the belt and allow the machine to idle for
5 minutes without drilling. Then, re-tighten the belt to ensure a snug fi t, as detailed
in this instruction manual on page 13. After the initial testing, test the belt for
tightness at least once per day for one week, and make adjustments as necessary.
After the break-in period, Kreg recommends you check the tightness of the belt
and make adjustments as necessary, once per week.
