Kickback
Kickback is the sudden strong movement that the tool
encounters and makes it fly away from the work piece. It
can make the operator loosing control and even cause
injuries. Usually it is caused when the blade is stuck into
the cut in the piece or because of deficient operation. To
prevent kickback take the following cautions:
• Use blades in good shape. Double-check they a properly
fitted. Bent or damaged blades with worn or blunt teeth
get stuck inside the material causing kickback.
• Always hold firmly the tool while operating. Keep good
footing and a stable position with both feet on the ground
the resist the possible kickback.
• To make cuts align the blade with the cut axis and wait
until the blade reaches its full speed before starting to cut.
Do not try to cut the work piece when the blade teeth are
on top of the cut. It could cause kickback.
• To start the job again inside the cut, center the blade
into the cut and verify the teeth are not buried in the
material.
• If you notice the blade is bending or the cut is
interrupted while the tool is running, release the switch
and leave the tool inside the work piece until the blades
stops completely. Do not try to remove the blade while
moving because it could cause kickback..
• To minimize the risk of a stuck blade and cause kickback,
when cutting a piece of wood remove all the nails. Humid
wood, warped or wood treated with pressure require special
attention during the cut. When using large planks use
supports on both sides of the cut to prevent that the weight
of the material closes the cut and catches the blade. Resin
and gum gets hard on the blades making the saw to operate
slowly. Use a resin and gum remover, hot water or kerosene
to remove those substances accumulated. DO NOT use
gasoline.
• Use special care when making pocket cuts on walls or
blind spots. The blade may touch hidden objects and
cause kickback.
• While operating the too do not place the hand or body
aligned the axis of the cut. There is the possibility of severe
injury if there is kickback .
Safety warnings for
manual saws
• DO NOT FORCE the saw or the blade
into the work piece. Use only enough pressure to keep
the blade cut allowing blade and saw do their job.
Applying too much pressure may twist the blade breaking
it and make you loose control. This causes damage to the
work piece and severe injury.
Toxic materials
Dust originated when cutting some materials contains
chemical substances known to cause cancer, birth defects
and reproductive damage. Some of these chemical
substances are:
• Lead in lead-based paint.
• Crystal Silica in bricks and cement and other masonry
products.
• Arsenic and chromium in wood treated with chemical
substances.
• Asbestos.
Risk that may be present due to exposition to these
substances varies according to how frequently this type of
job is made. To reduce these types of exposition work in
well-ventilated areas and use safety equipment like dust
mask specifically designed to filter microscopic particles.
