kickbacks and how to prevent them before
you use the product.
A kickback occurs when the blade is pinched in the
kickback zone. Usually they are not dangerous but a
strong kickback can cause injury or death.
Reactive force
• A reactive force pulls the product in the opposite
direction of the blade movement. Most of the time
this force is not strong. If the blade is pinched the
strength of the reactive force can cause a kickback.
• Do not tilt the product when the cutting equipment
rotates. Centrifugal forces can decrease movement.
Kickback zone
• Do not cut with the kickback zone of the cutting
blade. If the blade is pinched in the kickback zone,
the reactive force rotates the product up and back. It
can hit the operator and can result in injury or death.

• Do not use the kickback zone. When the kickback
zone is used for cutting, the reactive force moves the

blade up into the cut. Use the lower part of the blade
to prevent climbing kickback.

• A blade is pinched when the cut closes and stops
the turning of the blade. If the blade is pinched, the
strength of the reactive force can cause loss a
kickback.
• Make sure that the work piece is held to keep the cut
open during a cutting operation. Make an estimate of
the possible movement of the work piece during last
phase of the cutting operation. Make sure that the
cut opens during the cutting operation. A cut that
closes can cause a pinching kickback.
