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 a kickback. Kickback will propel the tool in the
direction opposite to the cutting accessory’s teeth or direction of
rotation. A snagged rotary cutting bit may pull the tool out of the grasp
of the user.
2. If kickback occurs:
a.
The cutting accessory may pass over a body part, causing a
seriously injury;
b. A rotary bit may wrench the user’s arm causing muscle or joint
injuries; and
c.
The tool may strike bystanders.
3.
Use clamps or a vice to hold down smaller workpieces.
4.
Use special care when working on corners, sharp edges or flexible
material. These workpieces have a tendency to snag the
cutting accessory.
5.
When the blade is the 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 as kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions
to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
6. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the
kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw
blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the
saw is restarted.
7.
Support large panels to minimize 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.
8. Use extra caution when making a plunge cut into existing walls or other
blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
VIBRATION PRECAUTIONS
