KICKBACK CAUSES AND RELATED WARNINGS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade,causing an
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls
and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the
blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf
and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw 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 saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces.
Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback
could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautions are taken.
b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason,release the trigger
and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the
blade is in motion or kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check
that saw teeth are not engaged into the material.
If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is
restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback.Large
panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel
on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and
secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause
binding and kickback.

g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
REMAINING RISKS
Even if the power tool is used as prescribed, there are some risks. The construction
and design of the power tool can result in the following risks:
1. Damage to the lungs, if a suitable dust protection mask is not worn.
2. Hearing impairment if no suitable ear protection is used.
3. Health problems due to vibrations in the hands and arms, if the machine is used
continuously for a long time or is not handled and maintained correctly.
WARNING: The machine produces an electromagnetic field during operation. This
field can in some circumstances affect active or passive medical implants. If you
have a medical implant you should consult your doctor and/or the manufacturer of
the medical implant before using the tool to reduce the risk of serious or fatal
personal injury.
Additional safety rules for your circular saw
1. Not to use any abrasive wheels.
2. Only use saw blades recommended in the specification.
