secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by your
hand or against the body leaves it unstable

over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
If cutting into existing walls or other blind
areas where electrical wiring may exist is
unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit
breakers feeding this worksite.

battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
