General Safety Rules
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS Failure to follow the safety rules listed below and other basic safety precautions
may result in serious personal injury.
THINK SAFETY Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness at all times when the X-Bench is being used.
Work Area
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY
Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. All visitors
should be kept away from work area.
KEEP WORK AREAS CLEAN
Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF
With padlocks, master switches.
AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS
Dont 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 owners manual and labels affixed
to the tool. Learn its application and limitations as well as the
specific potential hazards peculiar to this tool.
DONT OVERREACH
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
STAY ALERT
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not op-
erate 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 condi-
tions 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 SPECI-
FIED IN THE CURRENT SKIL CATALOG MAY CREATE A
HAZARD.
Tool Use
DONT FORCE TOOL
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL
Dont force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-
duty tool. Dont use tool for purpose not intended for ex-
ample; dont use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
SECURE WORK
Use clamps or a vise to hold work. Its 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. Dont 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.
DONT 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.
WARNING
! 3.
Read and understand all instructions for use of X-
Bench and insert plates with tools. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in serious personal
injury.
Use only with Skil accessory insert plates (jig saw,
drill press, belt sander and router).
The stamped rails or clamps may have sharp edges.
Be careful in handling the bench to prevent being cut.
Fully assemble and tighten all the fasteners required
for this stand. Also remember to occasionally check the
stand and make sure it is still tight. A loose stand is
unstable and may shift in use and cause serious injury.
Turn tool switch and table switch control off and
disconnect power before mounting tools to the stand.
Unintended startup during assembly can cause injury.
Know how to shut off the power to the tool in an
emergency. Position yourself such that you can reach
the switch control box while using the cut channel or the
tool attachments.
Before operating make sure the entire unit is placed
on a solid, flat, level surface. Serious injury could occur
if tool is unstable and tips.
Never stand on table or use as ladder or scaffolding.
Serious injury could occur if the table is tipped or the
cutting tool is accidentally contacted. Do not store
materials on or near the table such that it is necessary to
stand on the table to reach them.
Do not load with more than 250 lbs. This table when
fully set and clamps are tightened is maximum rated to
250 lbs. Table could collapse under additional loads.
Do not use as storage shelf. This table is not intended
to be a storage shelf.
Do not store X-Bench in damp locations. Use only in
dry locations. Humidity will cause the table top to distort
or the locks to become loose.
Use only Skil replacement parts. Any others may create
a hazard.
Dont use with work pieces that cannot be properly
secured to the X-Bench, or that covers the table so
you cannot access accessory control box switch.
Oversized work pieces may cause instability while cutting
and you may not be able to shut off the power in an
emergency.
Insure wood/workpiece is properly positioned before
cutting. Incorrectly positioned workpiece may cause you to
inadvertently cut into the X-Bench top, clamps or frame.
Specific Safety Instructions for X-Bench
AVOID GASEOUS AREAS
Do not operate electric tools in gaseous or explosive atmo-
spheres. Motors in these tools normally spark, and may re-
sult in a dangerous condition.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
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.
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known 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.
This product contains a chemical known to the
State of California to cause cancer.
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions provided with the working
stand and the power tool to be mounted. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire 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.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments or changing accessories. Accidental starting
of the power tool is a cause of some accidents.
Properly assemble the working stand before the
mounting the tool. Proper assembly is important to prevent
risk of co
