Additional power tool safety warnings
Warning! Safety instructions for all saws
♦ Hold 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 way to
secure and support the workpiece to
a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
♦ Keep hands away from cutting area. Never
reach underneath the work piece any reason.
Do not insert fi ngers or thumb into the vicinity
of the reciprocating blade and blade clamp.
Do not stabilize the saw by gripping the shoe.

wiring, etc.
