preventing Kick Back
Kick back is an extremely
dangerous action which can
cause serious injury.
Kick back occurs when the Blade

operation.
The Blade stops instantly,

the operator. The work material may
also recoil at an unpredictable angle.
Kick back can cause serious personal
injury or damage to property.
Never place your hand or fingers

saw kicks back, your hands can be
seriously injured. During use, always
hold the tool firmly with both hands
on the two handles.
It is important to be aware of the

when using the tool.
Use safe prac-

from injury, should it occur.
Kick back can be caused by the

work material.
Prevent misalignment
by always clamping the work mate-

make a cut in a straight line, never
try to cut a curve with this tool. When
making cuts over 1 foot long, always
use a rip fence or straight edge to
ensure a straight cut.
