10) Use suitable detectors in order to
find hidden supply lines or ask the
local utility company. Contact with
electrical cables can lead to electric shock
and fire, contact with a gas pipe can result
in an explosion. Damage to a water pipe
can lead to property damaged and electric
shock.
11) Hold the power tool tightly with
both hands while working and
ensure a secure footing. The power
tool is guided more securely with both hands.
12) Secure the workpiece. A workpiece
that is retained with clamping products or
a vice is held more securely than with your
hand.
13) Wait until the power tool has
stopped before placing it down. The
accessory tool can tilt and lead to loss of
control over the power tool.
14) Do not saw any materials (e.g. lead-based
paints and coatings or materials containing
asbestos) whose dust can be harmful.
