Specific Safety Warnings for Reciprocating Saw
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool ″live″
and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform.
Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
• Keep hands away from cutting area. Do not reach under the material being cut. The
proximity of the blade to your hand is hidden from your sight.
• Always disconnect the plug from the power source before changing the saw blade.
• Make certain that all adjusting levers and the blade holder are tight before making a cut. Loose
adjusting levers and holders can cause the tool or blade to slip; loss of control may result.
• Check that the switch is “off” before connecting the plug to a power source. Accidental
starting could cause injury.
• Never touch the saw blade after immediate use. It may be hot after prolonged use.
• Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool. Use a dust mask or
respirator or connect the tool to an external dust vacuum if cutting generates a great amount
of dust.
