KICKBACK..,WHAT CAUSES IT AND WAYS TO PREVENT IT

The Causes of Kickback

1.Kickbackis a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blades, which cause the uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece and towards the operator.

2.When the blades are pinched or bound tightly by the kerr closing down, the blades stall and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back towards the operator.

3.if the blades become twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edges of the blades can dig into the top surface of the wood, This causes the blades to climb out of the kerf and jump back towards the operator.

4.Kickback is a result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions, It can be avoided by taking the proper precautions, as listed below.

Ways to Prevent Kickback

1.ALWAYS maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your body and arms to allow you to resist KICKBACK forces, KICKBACK forces can be controlledby the operator, if the proper precautions are taken,

2.If the blades are binding, or when you are Interrupting a cut for any reason, ALWAYS turn off the saw and hold the saw motionless in the material until

the blades come to a complete stop. NEVER attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blades are in motion or KICKBACK may occur. ALWAYS check and be ready to take corrective actionto eliminate the cause of blade binding.

3.When restarting the saw In the workpiece, ALWAYS center the blades In the kerf and check to be sure that the saw teeth are not engaged Into the material. If the saw blades are binding,they may walk up or KICKBACK from the workpiece when the saw is restarted.

4.ALWAYS support large panels to minimize the risk of blades pinching and KICKBACK. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. SupportsMUST be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.

5.DO NOT use a dull or damaged blades, Unsharpened or improperly set blades

produce narrow kerf which causes excessive friction, blade binding and

KICKBACK.

6.ALWAYS use extra caution when making a "Pocket Cut" Into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blades may out objects that can cause

KICKBACK.

7.ALWAYS have the saw blades at full speed before contactingworkpiece

8.ALWAYS keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blades, but not in line with the saw blades. KICKBACK could cause the saw to jump backwards towards the operator. KICKBACK forcescan be controlled bythe operator, if proper precautions are taken.

ALWAYS hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make the exposed metal parts of the tool"live" and

shock the operator.
