It is important
to support the work properly to minimise body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.

Contact with a “live” wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.

- kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
jammed or misaligned saw blade, causing
an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of
the workpiece toward the operator;
- when the blade is pinched or jammed
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.
