Kickback causes and related warnings
• kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled
saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
• when the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor
reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
• if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig
into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward 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.
▶ Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces.
Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause
the saw to jump backwards, but 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 saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may
occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
▶ When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are
not engaged into the material. If a saw blade binds, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as
the saw is restarted.
▶ Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag
under their own weight. Supports 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 blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf
causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
▶ Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making the cut. If
blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
▶ Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may
cut objects that can cause kickback.
Lower guard function
▶ Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the lower
guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open
position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with
the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all
angles and depths of cut.
▶ Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged
parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
▶ The lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and
"compound cuts". Raise the lower guard by the retracting handle and as soon as the blade enters
the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate
automatically.
▶ Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing the saw down on bench
or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its
path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.
Guard function
▶ Check the guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the guard does
not move freely and enclose the blade instantly. Never clamp or tie the guard so that the blade is
exposed. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the guard may be bent. Check to make sure that the guard
moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
▶ Check the operation and condition of the guard return spring. If the guard and the spring are
not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. The guard may operate sluggishly due to
damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
▶ Assure that the base plate of the saw will not shift while performing a "plunge cut". Blade shifting
sideways will cause binding and likely kick back.
▶ Always observe that the guard is covering the blade before placing the saw down on bench or
floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its
path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after the switch is released.
