Safety Warnings for Reciprocating Saw
• Hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden hiring or its own
cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
“live” and shock the operator.
• Use extra caution when cutting overhead and pay particular attention to
overhead wires which may be hidden from view. Anticipate the path of
falling branches and debris ahead of time.
• Keep hands away from cutting area. Never reach underneath material for
any reason. Hold the front of the saw by grasping the contoured gripping
area. Do not insert fingers or thumb into the vicinity of the reciprocating
blade and blade clamp. Do not stabilise the saw by gripping the shoe.
• Keep blades sharp. Dull blades may cause the saw to swerve or stall
under pressure.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction activities. Wear protective
clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to
get into the eyes and mouth or to lay on the skin may promote the
absorbtion of harmful chemicals.
