Additional Safety Rules

1.Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses and/or face shield.

It is also highly recommended that you wear a dust mask, ear protectors and thickly padded gloves.

2.Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or damaged blade immediately.

3.Do not attempt to cut workpieces larger than specified in this manual (especially hollow pipe). The blade might snap and cause an injury.

4.Hold the tool firmly.

5.Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations.

6.Do not point the tool at anyone in the immediate vicinity.

7.When making a "blind" cut (you can't see behind what is being cut), be sure that hidden electrical wiring or water pipes are not in the path of the cut. If wires are present, they must be disconnected at their power source by a qualified person or avoided to prevent the possibility of lethal shock or fire. Always hold the tool ONLY by the insulated gripping surfaces to prevent any electric shock if you accidentally cut through a "live" wire. Water pipes in "blind" areas must be drained and capped before cutting.

8.Be careful not to hit the end of the blade against something during operation. Damage to the tool or dangerous blade breakage may occur.

9.Watch out for cut-off portions of the workpiece being cut. They may fall and injure you or someone near you.

IO. When cutting metals, be cautious of hot flying chips.

11. Do not touch the blade or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.

12.If you withdraw the blade from the workpiece during operation, strong reaction will be produced, causing the blade to snap or causing you to lose your grip and control of the tool. Always switch off the tool and wait until the blade has come to a complete stop before withdrawing the blade from the workpiece.
