Work Area
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Personal Safety
1. Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the air supply to
the tool is shut off before connecting to a source of
pressurized air.
4. Do not over reach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, and hard hat, must be
used for appropriate conditions.
6. Hearing protection must be used.
Tool Use and Care
1. Use clamps or other practical methods to secure
and support the work piece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
3. Do not use the tool if the control valve does not
turn the tool ON and OFF. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with a control valve is dangerous and must
be repaired.
4. Disconnect the air supply before making adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
6. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained tools.
8. Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model. Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool may become hazard-
ous when used on another tool.
Service
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of
injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts may
create a risk of injury.
Tool Safety
1. The Saw It
®
is made to cut plastic, steel, stainless
steel, and ductile iron pipe. Follow these Operating
Instructions on tool use. Other uses may increase the
risk of injury.
2. Always use a clamping device with the tool. The
Reed #04600 SAWITVISE resists forces developed
while cutting and prevents losing control of the tool.
3. Do not use dull or damaged blades. Sharp cutting
tools are less likely to bind and tool is easier to
control.
