9. Operation & Sawing Practice
- cont.
Kickback
Kickback can occur as the material passes
through the saw blade. When the timber is past
the centre point on the blade the teeth are
moving upwards and towards the user
Fig.9.12 .
If the timber closes onto these upward moving
teeth the timber will kickback.
The way to overcome kickback is to prevent
the timber from closing up onto the blade. To
prevent this from happening the fence must be
set correctly, if the auxiliary fence is set too far
along it can force the timber into the blade and
cause kickback
Fig.9.13 . By setting the auxiliary
fence in front of the blade centre Fig.9.14 . the
timber has space to move into as the cut is
made. Kickback is now far less likely occur as
the timber isn't being forced into the upward
moving blade.
Pull saw
The TS200C features a pull saw function which is
ideal for cross cutting small workpieces, accurate
repetitive cuts can easily and safely be achieved.
The first aspect which should be understood is
the mitre fence hold down clamp.
