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.
Don’t 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
D
o not operate electric tools in gaseous or explosive atmo-
s
pheres. 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.
F
ollow 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
S
tate 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,
f
ire 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 collapse.
Securely fasten the power tool the working stand before
use.
Power tool shifting on the working stand can cause
loss of control.
Place the working stand on a solid, flat and level
surface.
When the working stand can shift or rock, the
power tool or work piece cannot be steadily and safely
controlled.
Do not overload the working stand or use as ladder or
scaffolding.
Overloading or standing on the working stand
cause the stand to be “top-heavy” and likely to tip over.
Use only Skil replacement parts. Any others may create a
hazard.
