•
Never stand directly in line with the saw blade . Always position your body on the same
side of the saw blade as the fence .
Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity
towards anyone standing in front and in line with the saw blade.
•
Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or to support the workpiece .
Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your fingers into the saw
blade.
•
Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against the rotating saw blade .
Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will create a binding condition and
kickback.
•
Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade .
A misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece
against the saw blade and create kickback.
•
Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against the table and fence when making non-
through cuts such as rabbeting, Dadoing or re-sawing cuts .
A featherboard helps to control
the workpiece in the event of a kickback.
•
Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of assembled workpieces .
The
protruding saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
•
Support large panels to minimize the risk of saw blade pinching and kickback .
Large
panels tend to sag under their own weight. Support(s) must be placed under all portions of the
panel overhanging the table top.
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due to a pinched, jammed saw blade or misaligned
line of cut in the workpiece with respect to the saw blade or when a part of the workpiece binds
between the saw blade and the rip fence or other fixed object.
Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece is lifted from the table by the rear portion of the
saw blade and is propelled towards the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
accidental contact with the moving saw blade.
•
Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear and/or sides of the saw table for long and/
or wide workpieces to keep them level .
A long and/or wide workpiece has a tendency to pivot
on the table’s edge, causing loss of control, saw blade binding and kickback.
•
Feed workpiece at an even pace . Do not bend or twist the workpiece . If jamming occurs,
turn the tool off immediately, unplug the tool then clear the jam .
Jamming the saw blade by
the workpiece can cause kickback or stall the motor.
•
Do not remove pieces of cut-off material while the saw is running .
The material may become
trapped between the fence or inside the saw blade guard and the saw blade pulling your fingers
into the saw blade. Turn the saw off and wait until the saw blade stops before removing material.
•
Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table top when ripping workpieces less than 2
mm thick .
A thin workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and create a kickback.
