Cordless recipro saw safety
warnings
1.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wir-
ing.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.
2.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable plat-
form.
Holding the workpiece by hand or against
your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss
of control.
3.
Always use safety glasses or goggles.
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety
glasses.
4.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for any
nails and remove them before operation.
5.
Do not cut oversize workpiece.
6.
Check for the proper clearance around the
workpiece before cutting so that the recipro
saw blade will not strike the floor, workbench,
etc.
7.
Hold the tool firmly.
8.
Keep hands away from moving parts.
9.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
10.
Always switch off and wait for the recipro
saw blade to come to a complete stop before
removing the recipro saw blade from the
workpiece.
11.
Do not touch the recipro saw blade or the
workpiece immediately after operation; they
may be extremely hot and could burn your
skin.
12.
Do not operate the tool at no-load
unnecessarily.
13.
Always use the correct dust mask/respirator
for the material and application you are work-
ing with.
14.
Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
15.
Before operation, make sure that there is no
buried object such as electric pipe, water pipe
or gas pipe in the workpiece.
Otherwise, the
recipro saw blade may touch them, resulting an
electric shock, electrical leakage or gas leak.
