IV. SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR RECIPRO-
CATING SAWS
1)
Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric
shock.
Use clamps or another practical
2)
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.
