I have a technical interview coming up and the job description covers a lot of topics. But, it will always be better for me to know what will they cover, so that I can prepare and project myself much better than giving general answers. What is the best way of asking the recruiter of what will the the interviewer cover without getting into a situation that entails considerable risks or having a negative impact?

P.S: I know some companies tell before hand the topics as a standard procedure for interviewing and evaluating the candidates.

  "so that I can prepare" - they're probably interested in finding out what you know without having to 'prepare'.

I would phrase the question with something like:

Hi XXXX,

I'm really looking forward to our interview. I know that your time is valuable/limited and I am eager to assist you in the process. Therefore I was
wondering if there are any specific areas that you are particularly
interested in discussing in detail and I'll try to make sure that I
have all the relevant details available for you. if so please let me know otherwise I'll see you on such an such day/time.

regards, ....etc....
