kerf with the saw blade, binding and kickback.
i) Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or horizontally.
The saw blade could pick up one or more pieces and
cause kickback.
j) When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are
not engaged in the material.
If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw is restarted.
k) Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with cracked or
broken teeth.
Sharp and properly set saw blades minimise binding, stalling and kickback.
