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 platform.
Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.
4.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for any
nails and remove them before operation.
5.

Check for the proper clearance beyond the
workpiece before cutting so that the blade will
not strike the floor, workbench, etc.

Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
9.
Keep hands away from moving parts.
10.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
11.
Always switch off and wait for the blade to
come to a complete stop before removing the
blade from the workpiece.

Do not touch the blade or the workpiece imme-
diately after operation; they may be extremely
hot and could burn your skin.
13.
Do not operate the tool at no-load
unnecessarily.
14.
Always use the correct dust mask/respirator
for the material and application you are work-
ing with.

tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
