KICKBACK
Further safety instructions for all saws
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
• Kickback is a sudden reaction to pinched, bound or
misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to
lift up and out of the work-piece 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 with both hands 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 cor-
rective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c. When restarting a saw in the work-piece, center 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 work-piece as the
saw is restarted.
d. Support large panels to minimize 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 teeth produce narrow kerf causing ex-
cessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must
be tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjust-
ment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and
kickback.
