KICKBACK

See Figures 7 - 10.

Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and the saw is driven back towards you. Blade stalling is caused by any action which pinches the blade in the wood.

DANGER:

Release switch immediately if blade binds or saw stalls. Kickback could cause you to lose control of the saw. Loss of control can lead to serious injury.

To guard against kickback, avoid dangerous practices such as the following.

nSetting blade depth incorrectly.

nSawing into knots or nails in workpiece.

nTwisting the blade while making a cut.

nMaking a cut with a dull, gummed up, or improperly set blade.

nSupporting the workpiece incorrectly.

nForcing a cut.

nCutting warped or wet lumber.

nOperating the tool incorrectly or misusing the tool.

To lessen the chance of kickback, follow these safety practices.

nKeep the blade at the correct depth setting. The depth setting should not exceed 1/4 in. (6.35 mm) below the material being cut.

nInspect the workpiece for knots or nails before cutting. Never saw into a knot or nail.
