Work area safety guidelines to follow when using your Porter Cable reciprocating saw

• Work in a well-lit area so you can clearly see the work piece and the location of the saw blade.
• Make sure that your work area is well-ventilated. Don't operate your reciprocating saw in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
• Keep children and bystanders away from the work area when operating the saw. Distractions can cause you to lose control of the reciprocating saw.
• Wear work gloves to protect your hands and eye protection when using the reciprocating saw.

Choosing the right blade speed when using your Porter Cable reciprocating saw

• Use high blade speed when cutting wood and other soft materials.
• Medium blade speed is best for cutting non-ferrous materials and thick plastic work pieces.
• Use low blade speed when cutting metal work pieces and metal pipe.
