[. . . ] "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. [. . . ] Do not wear gloves, necktie or loose clothing during operation of the tool. Clothing or hair can become caught in the spinning bit and injury may occur. Match the appropriate bit and its speed to your application. do not use bits that have a cutting diameter that exceed the capacity of the tool. The drill press stand is intended for light duty use on wood. Dull bits require more force to push the workpiece, possibly causing the bit to break. Always make sure the workpiece is free from nails and other foreign objects. Cutting into a nail will damage the bit and can cause the workpiece to jump causing loss of control. Before operation clamp workpiece or brace against column. Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and bring the drill down. Clamping the workpiece allows you to use both hands to control the tool. securing workpiece will prevent spinning or climbing on the drill during operation. Use a "V" block for supporting round stock such as tubes or rods when drilling. Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to "bite" or the workpiece to jump toward you. You must set and lock tool head into the desired position and depth of cut when performing operations other than drilling. Bring the workpiece to the tool and allow for sufficient space, at least 150 mm (6"), between your hand and the spinning bit. contact with the spinning bit will cause injury. When this drill stand is used for routing, sanding, brushing, milling, etc. Use extra caution because the side of the bit performs the cutting action. Feed the workpiece on the side of the bit that rotates against the workpiece. Feeding the work in the wrong direction will cause the workpiece to "climb" up on the bit and may lead to loss of control during operation. Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in the material. [. . . ] The table shows the correct size to use, depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating of tool. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Use of damaged cords can shock, burn Only use the accessory control box for power tools designed for use with accessory insert plates and suggested power tools in this manual. It is intended to be the mains switch for benchtop applications if your Skil power tool is used in the insert plate. [. . . ]
