15. Always check the Saw Blade (59, 60) to make sure it does not have missing teeth,
cracks, or is bent. Do not use a damaged Saw Blade.
16. Check that there is enough space under and behind the workpiece for the
reciprocating Saw Blade (59, 60). Make sure you will not be cutting through any
electrical wires or your workbench.
17. Never attempt to remove material stuck in the moving parts of the Reciprocating
Saw while the Saw is “ON” or plugged in to its electrical outlet.
18. Never cut material that is thicker than the length of the Saw Blade (59, 60).
19. Do not exert side-to-side pressure on the Saw Blade (59, 60) or attempt to cut
curves. Doing so will break the Saw Blade and possibly cause pieces of the blade
to fly outward, causing injury.
