KICKBACK
Further safety instructions for all saws
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
- kickback is a sudden reaction to pinched, bound or mis-
align 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 op-
erating 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 motion-
less 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 ac-
tions 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. Sup- ports 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 exces-
sive 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.
