If a saw blade binds, it may walk up or kickback
from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.

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.
e.
'RQRWXVHGXOORUGDPDJHGEODGHV
Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive
friction, blade binding and kickback.

If blade adjustment shifts while

If the saw is accidentally
dropped, the lower guard may be bent. Raise the
lower guard with the retracting handle and make
sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade
or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.

An
unprotected, coasting blade will cause the
saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is
in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for
the blade to stop after switch is released.
