5. A damaged or disconnected air line under pressure may whip around and
inflict personal injury or damage the work area. Secure the compressor's
air line to a fixed or permanent structure with clamps or cable ties.
6. Install an in-line shutoff valve or regulator to allow immediate control over
the air supply in an emergency, even if a hose is ruptured.
KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned blade, causing
an uncontrolled tool to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
when the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the cut workpiece closing down,
the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the
operator. Kickback may result in loss of control of the tool leading to serious
personal injury and / or damage to the workpiece and / or tool.
Kickback can be avoided by taking proper precautions:
1. Maintain a firm grip on the tool and position your body and arms to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Kickback will propel the tool in the direction
opposite to the wheel's movement at the time of snagging.
2. Never place your hand near the blade. If kickback occurs, the wheel may
pass over your hand and seriously injury you. Use clamps or a vice to hold
down the workpiece.
3. Use special care when working on corners, sharp edges etc. Corners,
sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the blade and cause loss
of control or kickback.
4. When the 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 workpiece 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.
5. When restarting a blade in the workpiece, center the blade in the cut and
check that blade teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is
binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the cut-off saw
is restarted.
