or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the
wheel that is entering into the pinch point can
dig into the surface of the material causing
the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel
may either jump toward or away from 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 excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or
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,
Electric Circular Saw
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.
