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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

To minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback.

When cutting operation requires the resting of the

saw on the workpiece, the saw should be rested on

the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off.

To avoid kickback, do support

board or panel near the cut.

Do not support board or

panel away from the cut.

• Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Unsharpened or improperly set blades

produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction,

blade binding and kickback. Keep blade sharp

and clean. Gum and wood pitch hardened on

blades slows saw and increases potential for

kickback. Keep blade clean by first removing it

from tool, then cleaning it with gum and pitch

remover, hot water or kerosene. Never use

gasoline.

• 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.

• Use extra caution when making a "plunge

cut" into existing walls or other blind areas.

The protruding blade may cut objects that can

cause kickback.

• ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with both

hands. NEVER place your hand, leg or any

part of your body under the tool base or

behind the saw, especially when making

cross-cuts. If kickback occurs, the saw could

easily jump backwards over your hand,

leading to serious personal injury.
