General Safety Rules
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS” Failure to follow the safety rules listed below and other basic safety precautions
!
WARNING
THINK SAFETY Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness at all times when the X-Bench is being used.
“ may result in serious personal injury.
Work Area
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY
Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. All visitors
hould be kept away from work area.
s
KEEP WORK AREAS CLEAN
Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF
With padlocks, master switches.
AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS
Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not expose power tools to rain. Do not use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
Personal Safety
KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL
Read and understand the owner’s manual and labels affixed to the tool. Learn its application and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to this tool.
DON’T OVERREACH
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
STAY ALERT
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not op­erate tool when you are tired. Do not operate while under medication or while using alcohol or other drug.
DRESS PROPERLY
To avoid being pulled into a blade, do not wear loose clothing, loose fitting gloves, necktie or jewelry. Tie back long hair or wear protective hair covering and roll long sleeves above the elbow. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
USE SAFETY GOGGLES
Use safety goggles (head protection). Wear safety goggles (must comply with ANSI Standard Z87.1) at all times. Wear non-slip footwear and a hard hat, if appropriate. Also, use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty, and ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK
Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example: pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE
When not in use, before servicing, when changing blades, bits, cutters, etc.
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE
In working order, and in proper adjustment and alignment.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES
When not in use, before servicing, when changing blades, bits, cutters, etc.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING
Make sure the switch is in the “OFF” (“O”) position before plugging in tool.
NEVER STAND ON TOOL OR ITS STAND
Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted. Do not store materials on or near the tool such that it is necessary to stand on the tool or its stand to reach them.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to ensure that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, mounting and any other condi­tions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly replaced.
ALL REPAIRS, ELECTRICAL OR MECHANICAL, SHOULD BE ATTEMPTED ONLY BY TRAINED REPAIRMEN.
Contact the nearest Skil Factory Service Center, Authorized Service Station or other competent repair service.
USE ONLY SKIL REPLACEMENT PARTS;
Any others may create a hazard.
THE USE OF ANY OTHER ACCESSORIES NOT SPECI­FIED IN THE CURRENT SKIL CATALOG MAY CREATE A HAZARD.
Tool Use
DON’T FORCE TOOL
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL
Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy­duty tool. Don’t use tool for purpose not intended — for ex­ample; don’t use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
SECURE WORK
Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
DIRECTION OF FEED
Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED
Turn power off. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop. Be aware of the location and setting of the switch “ON" position. Never leave the switch in the “ON” position. Be aware of switch location and know how to shut off the tool in emergency situations. Accidental start-ups could cause injury.
DON’T ABUSE THE CORD
Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
Tool Care
DO NOT ALTER OR MISUSE TOOL
These tools are precision built. Any alteration or modification not specified is misuse and may result in dangerous conditions.
2.
AVOID GASEOUS AREAS
o not operate electric tools in gaseous or explosive atmo-
D
pheres. Motors in these tools normally spark, and may re-
s sult in a dangerous condition.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance.
ollow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
F Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
CONNECTING THE TOOL
Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.), be sure voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user — as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

Double Insulated Tools
Double Insulation is a design concept used in electric power tools which eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. It is a recognized and approved system by Underwriter’s Lab­oratories, CSA and Federal OSHA authorities.
IMPORTANT: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician.
Grounded Tools
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user. Improper grounding can shock, burn or electrocute. Grounded tools are equipped with three conductor cord and three prong type plugs. Before plugging in the tool be certain the outlet voltage supplied is within the
Accessory Switch
The accessory control box has an accessory On/Off switch with lock off key. Be aware of your position while using the X­Bench for fast emergency shut off power. Remove lock off key to disable switch when not in use.
WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACE­MENT PARTS.
POLARIZED PLUGS. If your tool is equipped with a polar­ized plug (one blade is wider than the other), this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not change the plug in any way.
