Reciprocating saws present a risk of operating hazards.
Avoid contact with the saw blade, knife or cutter to prevent cutting of hands and other body parts. Guards shall be securely in
place and in good function condition. Damaged, bent or severely worn guards shall be replaced with the tool manufacturer's
recommended guards. Wear gloves to protect from cuts, abrasion and heat. Operators and maintenance personnel should
be physically able to handle the bulk, weight and power of the tool. Hold the tool firmly and be ready to counteract normal or
sudden movements. Avoid injury by cutting or severing. Avoid contact with the blade, cutter or knife whenever the energy
supply is connected to the tool. Wear protective equipment, such as gloves, apron and helmet. Injury can be caused by
uncontrolled movements of the tool. Always ensure that all of the guide plate is held firmly against the workpiece. Cutting with
