faces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. 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.
3. Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary
eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.
4. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for any
nails and remove them before operation.
5. Do not cut oversize workpiece.
6. Check for the proper clearance beyond the
workpiece before cutting so that the blade will
not strike the floor, workbench, etc.
7. Hold the tool firmly.
8. 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.

buried object such as electric pipe, water pipe
or gas pipe in the workpiece. Otherwise, the
recipro saw blade may touch them, resulting an
electric shock, electrical leakage or gas leak.
