[. . . ] "READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS" Failure to follow the safety rules listed below and other basic safety precautions !WARNING 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. All visitors should be kept away from work area. [. . . ] Feed the workpiece against the rotation of the bit. the bit rotates counter-clockwise as viewed from the top of table. Feeding the work in the wrong direction will cause the workpiece to "climb" up on the bit, pulling the workpiece and possibly your hands into the rotating bit. Use push sticks, vertical and horizontally mounted feather boards (spring sticks) and other jigs to hold down the workpiece. Push sticks, feather boards and jigs eliminate the need to hold the workpiece near the spinning bit. Using it for purposes other than routing may cause damage and make it unsafe to use in routing. Never stand on the table or use as ladder or scaffolding. Table could tip or the cutting tool could be accidentally contacted. 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. 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. 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. 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 voltage marked on the nameplate. [. . . ] â· NEVER let go of the workpiece when routing using the feather board until the cut has been completed and the workpiece is completely clear of the bit. uSING THE FEATHER BOARD ON THE TABLE TOP 1. Install the feather board onto the table top with the male knobs R10 as shown by figure 4. Be sure that the diagonal of the "feathers" point in the feed direction. [. . . ]
