• Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
bound 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 bound
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:

2&(4*#1%Position your body to either side of the
blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback
could cause the saw to jump backwards,

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.

Large panels tend to sag under their own

Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open
position. If saw is accidentally dropped, 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.

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.
