SAFETY
RULES
FOR
SABRE
SAWS
cont.
7. HOLD
TOOL
by insulated
gripping
surfaces
(handles)
when
performing
an
operation
where
the
cutting
tool
may
contact
hidden
wiring
or its own
cord.
Contact
with
a "live"
wire
will
make
the
exposed
metal
parts
of the
tool "live"
and
shock
the
operator.
8. SECURE
MATERIAL
before
cutting.
Never
hold
a workpiece
in your
hand
or across
your
legs.
Small
or thin
material
may
flex
or vibrate
with
the
blade,
causing
loss
of control.
9. When
ripping,
ALWAYS
USE
a rip
fence
or straight
edge
guide.
This
improves
the
accuracy
of the
cut
and
reduces
the
chance
of the
blade
binding.
10. NEVER
cut
more
than
one
piece
at a time.
DO
NOT
STACK
more
than
one
workpiece
on
the
worktable
at a time.
11. AVOID
awkward
operations
and
hand
positions
where
a sudden
slip
could
cause
your
hand
to
move
into
the
blade.
12.
NEVER
reach
into
the
cutting
path
of the
blade.
13.
BLADE
GUIDE
ROLLERS
must
support
the
blade
when
cutting.
The
rollers
must
rest
against
the
back
edge
of blade.
THE
ONLY
cutting
operation
when
rollers
DO
NOT
support
the
blade
is the
scrolling
mode.
WHEN
SCROLLING
the
blade
must
swivel
as it is guided
to follow
scroll
patterns.
ALWAYS
move
the
base
back
and
blade
guide
up and
back
away
from
blade
in scrolling
mode.
