KICKBACK

See Figure 4.

THE BEST GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK IS TO AVOID

DANGEROUS PRACTICES.

WRONG

Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and the saw is driven back toward 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 will cause you to lose control of your saw. Loss of control can lead to serious injury.

KICKBACK IS CAUSED BY:

■Incorrect blade depth setting. See Figure 4.

■Sawing into knots or nails in work.

■Twisting blade while making a cut.

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

■Incorrectly supporting work. See Figure 5.

■Forcing a cut.

■Cutting warped or wet lumber.

■Tool misuse or incorrect operating procedures.

TO LESSEN THE CHANCE OF KICKBACK:

■Always keep the correct blade depth setting–the correct blade depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 in. below the material to be cut. See Figure 6.

■Inspect the work for knots or nails before beginning a cut. Never saw into a knot or nail.

■Make straight cuts. Always use a straight edge guide when rip cutting. This helps prevent twisting the blade in the cut.

■Always use clean, sharp, and properly set blades. Never make cuts with dull blades.

■To avoid pinching the blade, support the work properly before beginning a cut. The right way to support large pieces of work are shown in Figure 7.

■When making a cut, use steady, even pressure. Never force cuts.

RIGHT

Fig. 7

■Always hold your saw firmly with both hands and keep your body in a balanced position so as to resist the forces of kickback should it occur.

■Do not cut warped or wet lumber.

WHEN USING YOUR SAW, ALWAYS STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. DO NOT REMOVE YOUR SAW FROM WORKPIECE WHILE THE BLADE IS MOVING.
