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.

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.

Double Insulated Tools
Double Insulationis 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.

Always use U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.
NOTE:
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Replace damaged cords immediately.
