the operator, depending on direction of the wheel's
movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may
also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary
handle, if provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The
operator can control torque reactions or kickback
forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
c) Do not position your body in line with the
rotating wheel. Kickback will propel the tool in
direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the
point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working Corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging
the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing
have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and
cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving
blade, segmented diamond wheel with
a peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
f) Do not "jam" the wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an
10
excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel
increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or
EN
binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of
kickback or wheel breakage.
g) When wheel is binding or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, switch off the power
tool and hold the power tool motionless until
the wheel Comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur.
lnvestigate and take corrective action to eliminate
the cause of wheel binding.
h) Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel
may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is
restarted in the workpiece.
i ) Support panels or any oversized workpiece
to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and
kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag
under their own weight. Supports must be
placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and
near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the
wheel.
j) Use extra caution when making a "pocket
cut" into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

RULES FOR YOUR
CIRCULAR SAW
1. Use only saw blades recommended by the manu-
facturer, which conform to EN 847-1, if intended
for wood and analogous materials.
2. Do not use any abrasive wheels.
3. Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance with the
markings.
4. Identify the correct saw blade to be used for the
material to be cut.
5. Use only saw blades that are marked with a speed
equal or higher than the speed marked on the tool.
