SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an
uncontrolled workpiece to lift up and out of the saw toward the operator. W hen the blade is
pinched or bound tightly by the ker f (saw cut) closing down, the blade stalls and the motor
reaction drives the workpiece rapidly backward. If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the
cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top sur face of the material causing the
material to climb out of the blade and jump back toward operator. Kickback is the result of tool
misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below:
Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw. KICKBACK forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautions are taken.
When blade is 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 workpiece from the saw or pull the material backward while the blade is in motion or
KICKBACK may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade
binding.
When restar ting 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 restar ted.
Suppor t large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and KICKBACK. Large panels tend to
sag under their own weight. Suppor ts must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line
of cut and near the edge of the panel.
Do not use dull or damaged blade. Dull or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing
excessive friction, blade binding and KICKBACK.
Blade depth and miter adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making a cut. If
blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and KICKBACK.
