• 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 specific 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 modified
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 qualified 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, specifically designed as safety wear.

• 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 certified parts in mind. Use of uncertified 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 qualified 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 influence 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,
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.

DK1100FE/DK3100QUICKSTARTGUIDE
• 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 fit, 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.

Machine-SpecificWarnings:
• This machine was intended for use with a 20 amp electrical service only. To
reduce the possibility of fire 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
qualified electrician before use. Never remove
the third prong, and never modify the provided plug in any way.
• 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 qualified 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.
• 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
table below shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier
the cord.

20AmpOutletRequired
This machine was intended for use with a 20 amp electrical
service only. To reduce the possibility of fire hazard, only use
this machine with a properly wired 20 amp outlet, indicated by a
horizontal notch in the outlet’s left opening.
AcrylicTopMustBeSecured
Do not operate this machine without the acrylic top positioned
correctly and secured with the two provided lock-down screws
(1/8” allen wrench provided). Running the machine without the
top in place and properly secured increases your chance of
injury and is not recommended under any circumstance.
ChangingDrillBits
You can expect to drill between 4000 and 5000 holes in Oak
with your #DKDB drill bit before the bit will need to be sharp-
ened. This baseline was established using the factory set-
tings described in this manual on page 12 (Feed Rate Flow
Control). Adjust your sharpening schedule for your settings
and the material that you may be drilling.
IMPORTANT!
Before changing the drill bit, make certain your machine is
DISCONNECTED from the AIR SUPPLY and/or ELECTRI-
CAL SUPPLY. Cycle the machine via the foot switch several
times to remove air from the system. Without an air supply or
electrical supply you can be certain the bit will not acciden-
tally engage while you are performing maintenance.
Step 1: Disconnect the machine from the air supply and/or
electrical supply.
Step 2: Remove the Top Plate to gain access to the inside of
the machine.
Step 3: Loosen both Set-screws with the hex key that hold the
drill bit in place inside the Drill Chuck.
Step 4: Remove the Drill Bit by pushing forward out of the Drill
Chuck and into the Drill Guide Plate until the Drill Bit
clears the Drill Chuck.Angle the Drill Bit slightly and
pull clear of the Drill Guide Plate.
Step 5: Insert a new or re-sharpened Drill Bit into the Drill
Chuck, aligning the flat on the Drill Bit shank with the
Set-Screws.
Step 6: Tighten the Set-screws front and back to maintain
equal pressure on the Drill Shaft.
Step 7: Reset the Counter to track Drill Bit life.

The Fence can be adjusted to align the pocket hole to the center
of material of different thicknesses. When adjusting the Fence
make sure that the Fence remains perpendicular to the Guide
Plate.AReference Scale has been provided to approximate the
fence setting for 1/2”, 3/4”, and 1-1/2” thick material. These
correspond to the “A”, “B”, and “C” lines on the Reference Scale.
Step 1: Loosen the (4) Socket-head Cap Screws contained
below the surface of the Fence.
Step 2: Align the Fence perpendicular to the Guide Plate for
the setting that corresponds to the material thickness.
Step 3: Tighten the (4) Socket-head Cap Screws to lock the
Fence into position.
SwingStops
Two Swing Stops are provided to assist in drilling pocket holes
in the same location on multiple work pieces of the same
dimension. When the Swing Stop is not used, it will pivot out
of the way to allow the work piece to slide underneath and rest
against the fence. To change the location of the Swing Stop
simply loosen the Knob, move to the new location and tighten
the Knob to lock the Swing Stop in position.

AdjustingtheClampingCylinderHeight
The Clamping Cylinder can be adjusted for material of different
thicknesses. The factory setting will clamp materials of
approximate thicknesses between 1/2” and 3/4”. For materials
thicker than 7/8”, the Clamping Cylinder will need to be moved
upward to allow the material to locate below the Clamp Pad.
Before adjusting the Clamping Cylinder make certain your
machine is DISCONNECTED from the AIR SUPPLY and/or
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY. Cycle the machine via the foot switch
several times to remove air from the system. Without an air
supply or electrical supply you can be certain the Clamping
Cylinder will not accidentally engage or the drill bit will not
rotate while you are performing maintenance.
Step 1: Loosen the (4) Socket-head Cap Screws (two on
each side) located on the Clamping Cylinder Bracket.
Step 2: Adjust the Clamping Cylinder to allow the material to
pass under the Clamp Pad.
Step 3: Tighten the (4) Socket-head Cap Screws to lock the
Clamping Cylinder in position.

ClampingDurationControl
Clamping Duration Control allows the user to adjust the
duration that the pneumatic clamp engages the material
before, during, and after the drilling operation is performed.
The factory setting of this valve will maintain the correct
amount of time that the material is clamped while drilling. If
the work piece lifts off of the Drill Guide Plate during drilling
then the Clamping Duration Control will need to be adjusted.
Loosen the Locking Collar and turn the Screw in the
clockwise direction to increase the duration (more clamping
time). Turning the Screw in the counter-clockwise direction
decreases the duration (less clamping time). Make certain
to tighten the Locking Collar to prevent the Screw from
accidentally drifting or vibrating out of adjustment.

FeedRateFlowControl
The Feed Rate Control Valve allows the user to adjust the
speed at which the drill bit advances into the material. The
factory setting of this valve will maintain a consistent feed rate
for various thicknesses of different materials to optimize Drill
Bit life. The Feed Rate Control Valve should only be adjusted
when a faster or slower rate of Drill Bit feed is desired. This
adjustment is only recommended for experienced users
that consistently drill the same thickness of the same type
of material on a daily basis. The Feed Rate Control Valve
is adjusted by loosening the Locking Collar and rotating the
Screw in the direction of the desired change in feed rate. “F”
corresponds to a Faster feed rate, “S” corresponds to a Slower
feed rate. Make these adjustments carefully as only a slight
change in position will result in a large change of feed rate.
Make certain to tighten the Locking Collar to prevent the Screw
from accidentally drifting or vibrating out of adjustment. If you
have changed the setting on the Feed Rate Control Valve and
want to put it back to factory settings, please follow these simple
directions to do so. Turn the locking collar (counter-clockwise) to
loosen it up, then tighten the screw all the way down (clockwise)
to start over. To reset it to the factory setting, turn the screw
(counter-clockwise) 4 complete turns for our DK1100 FE
machine and 3 complete turns for our DK3100 machine. Then
tighten the locking collar back down (clockwise) to prevent the
Screw from accidentally drifting or vibrating out of adjustment.

BeltTension
Proper belt tension is necessary to maximize the efficiency
of the Drill Bit. A simple adjustment has been provided to
allow the user to properly maintain belt tension. Remember
to check the belt tension often on the machine, especially
in the first few hours of operation of a new machine. Before
checking belt tension and during belt tension adjustment
make certain your machine is DISCONNECTED from the AIR
SUPPLY and ELECTRICAL SUPPLY. Cycle the machine via
the foot switch several times to remove air from the system.
Without an air supply or electrical supply you can be certain
the motor will not accidentally rotate while you are performing
maintenance.
Step 1: Loosen the top 5/16” nut above the springs w/
wrench on the Motor Mounting Plate.
Step 2: Tighten the other 5/16” nut against the springs to
provide adequate belt tension for proper operation.
Step 3: Re-tighten the 5/16” nut against the other 5/16” nut
with wrench as a jam nut to maintain proper tension
on the belt.

Machine-SpecificWarnings:
• This pneumatic Pocket Hole Machine is fitted with a 3/8” High-Flow fitting which allows the machine to receive adequate amounts
of air pressure from your air compressor. The machine was specifically designed for use with a 3/8” (or larger) system, and
restricting air-flow with a smaller diameter hose or connector may result in less-than-desirable machine performance. To further
increase the air-flow to your Kreg Pocket Hole Machine, it is important to understand that maintaining a short distance between
your air compressor and the machine will help ensure adequate air flow. Kreg does not recommend the use of a long extension
hose for use with this product.
• Depending on the frequency of use, Kreg recommends that you grease the planetary gear on the pneumatic drill at least once per
month. To grease, use the needle-point zerk fitting (included with your machine), and a couple of pumps of Sta-Lube Extreme
Pressure Moly-Graph® Multi-Purpose Grease, (1.800.272.8963 www.fastenal.com), or equivalent. As shown at right, you may
need to rotate the drill to gain access to the grease zerk. If so, use a crescent wrench to rotate the black fitting at the rear of the
drill clockwise, until you have access to the grease zerk. Remember to disconnect all air supply before working on machine.
