5. 

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping 

surfaces, when performing an operation where 

the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.

 

Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed 

metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give 

the operator an electric shock.

6. 

When ripping, always use a rip fence or 

straight edge guide.

 This improves the accuracy 

of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.

7. 

Always use blades with correct size and shape 

(diamond versus round) of arbour holes.

 Blades 

that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw 

will run off-centre, causing loss of control.

8. 

Never use damaged or incorrect blade wash-

ers or bolt.

 The blade washers and bolt were 

specially designed for your saw, for optimum 

performance and safety of operation.

Kickback causes and related warnings

— 

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.

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.

1. 

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.

2. 

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 correc-

tive actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

3. 

When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre 

the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth 

are not engaged into the material.

 If a saw blade 

binds, it may walk up or kickback from the work

-

piece as the saw is restarted.

4. 

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.

Fig.3

5. 

Do not use dull or damaged blades.

 

Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce 

narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade 

binding and kickback.

6. 

Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers 

must be tight and secure before making the 

cut.

 If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may 

cause binding and kickback.

7. 

Use extra caution when sawing into existing 

walls or other blind areas.

 The protruding blade 

may cut objects that can cause kickback.

8. 

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.
