GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING
!
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in
thepresenceofammableliquids,gasesordust.Powertools

ormisalignedsawblade,causinganuncontrolledsaw
to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator.

GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operatingproceduresorconditionsandcanbeavoided
bytakingproperprecautionsasgivenbelow.
a)Maintainarmgripwithbothhandsonthesawandposition
your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either
side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could
cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be
controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
b)Whenthebladeisbinding,orwheninterruptingacutforany
reason,releasethetriggerandholdthesawmotionless
in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the
saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may
occur.Investigateandtakecorrectiveactionstoeliminate
thecauseofbladebinding.
c)Whenrestartingasawintheworkpiece,centerthesaw

• Be sure that the cutter knives are mounted as described in the
instruction manual and check that all bolts are firmly tightened
before connecting unit to power source.
• To avoid injury, never rotate the cutter block directly with your
hands.
• Keep guards in place and in good working order.
• Stay alert – never operate the unit when tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
• Do not use in dangerous environments. Do not use near
flammable substances, in damp or wet locations, or expose to
rain.
• Never plane material which is shorter than 12 inches.
• Exhaust chute: remove shavings with brush or vacuum after
power has been shut off and cutter head has stopped rotating.
• ALWAYS LOCATE PLANER WITH PROPER CLEARANCE ON
THE OUTFEED SIDE of the unit to prevent pinching or binding of
the workpiece against any obstacle.
• Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use. Dust
and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior
surfaces and could create a risk of serious injury, electric shock or
electrocution. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
WARNING: For your own safety, it is recommended that two
people carry this machine or serious injury could result.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection
that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with
soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all
persons entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily or
whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing. See your local hardware
store for the proper NIOSH/OSHA approved dust mask.

work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with
soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all
persons entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily or
whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing. See your local hardware
store for the proper NIOSH/OSHA approved dust mask.
• The label on your tool may include the following symbols. The
symbols and their definitions are as follows:

• Be sure that the cutter knives are mounted as described in the
instruction manual and check that all bolts are firmly tightened
before connecting unit to power source.
• To avoid injury, never rotate the cutter block directly with your
hands.
• Keep guards in place and in good working order.
• Stay alert – never operate the unit when tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
• Do not use in dangerous environments. Do not use near
flammable substances, in damp or wet locations, or expose to
rain.
• Never plane material which is shorter than 12 inches.
• Exhaust chute: remove shavings with brush or vacuum after
power has been shut off and cutter head has stopped rotating.
• ALWAYS LOCATE PLANER WITH PROPER CLEARANCE ON
THE OUTFEED SIDE of the unit to prevent pinching or binding of
the workpiece against any obstacle.
• Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use. Dust
and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior
surfaces and could create a risk of serious injury, electric shock or
electrocution. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
WARNING: For your own safety, it is recommended that two
people carry this machine or serious injury could result.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection
that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:

USING THE SAW
ATTENTION
!
Maximum depth of cut at 0° is 21⁄8" [54mm].
ATTENTION
!
When the workpiece is less than 4" [102mm]
wide, support the guide track with scrap pieces of the same thickness
as the workpiece.
ATTENTION
!
When interrupting a cut, continue to hold the saw in
the plunge position, release the switch, and wait for the saw blade to come to
a complete stop. Release downward pressure to retract the blade. To resume,
with the power off, plunge the saw to cutting depth to ensure the blade is
centered in the saw kerf. Release downward pressure to retract the blade.
Depress the switch, plunge the saw to cutting depth, and continue the cut.
WARNING:
!
Always hold the saw with both hands when cutting.
Keep one hand on the switch handle and the other on the forward grip.
WARNING:
!
This saw is intended for cutting wood and wood
products only. Do not cut metal, masonry, glass, masonry-type planking,
cement board, tile or plastic with this saw.
WARNING:
!
Do not tie, tape, or otherwise lock the switch in the
on position. Hold by hand only
WARNING:
!
The saw is equipped with a riving knife that
automatically extends with the blade. This is an important part of the anti-
kickback protection. Periodically check to make sure it operates freely. If
you have any concerns about the operation of the riving knife, do not use
the saw and contact Kreg Customer Service.
