be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should
operate automatically.
d. Always observe that the lower guard is covering the
blade before placing saw down on bench or floor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to
walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware
of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is
released.
e. Do not use abrasive wheels

Additional safety rules for reciprocating saws
•
Always remove the battery pack before making any
adjustments or maintenance, including changing the
blade.
•
When operating the saw, use safety equipment including
safety goggles or shield, ear protection, dust mask and
protective clothing including safety gloves.
•
Ensure that the lighting is adequate.
•
Keep the area free of tripping hazards.
•
Do not let anyone under the age of 18 years operate
this saw.
•
Always stand to one side when operating the saw.
•
Never use a cracked or distorted saw blade.
Only use sharp blades.
•
When cutting round wood, use clamps that prevent
the work piece from turning on both sides of the blade.
•
Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste
close by the blade.
•
Use only blades as recommended.
•
Rags, cloths, cord and string and the like should never be
left around the work area.
•
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the work piece and remove all
nails and other foreign objects before beginning sawing.
•
Support the work properly.
•
Never reach over the blade to remove waste or off cuts.
•
Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first
switching off the machine.
•
Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood.
Let the blade come to rest naturally.
•
If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete
the process and switch off before looking up.
•
Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings are
properly tightened.
•
Always hold the saw on parts that are insulated. If you
accidentally cut into hidden wiring or the saw's own cable,
the metal parts of the saw will become "live".
•
Never saw near combustible liquids or gases.
