SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR RECIPROCATING SAWS

a) Hold a power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. A cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
b) Use clamps or another practical way to support and secure the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
c) Always disconnect the plug from the power source before changing the saw blade
and/or adjusting the saw base.
d) The saw blade must be securely locked in its holder. Check that it has been securely
seated before use.
e) 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.
f) Check that the switch is "off" before connecting the plug to a power source.
Accidental starting could cause injury.
g) Secure material before cutting. Never hold the workpiece in your hand or across your
legs. Small or thin material may flex or vibrate with the blade, causing loss of control.
h) Never touch the saw blade after immediate use. It may be hot after prolonged use.
i) 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.
j) 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.
k) Do not use dull or damaged saw blades and accessories.
