SAFETY

Understanding Kickback

Preventing Kickback

Kickback is a sudden and unexpected expulsion of the saw

from the workpiece, which can violently propel the saw

back toward the operator, resulting in accidental blade

contact or impact injury.

Kickback is caused when the saw blade becomes

misaligned, pinched, bound, or comes in contact with a

material it is unable to cut. When kickback occurs, the

saw blade becomes immediately immobile. The force

produced by the motor is diverted from the blade and

transferred to the saw, pushing it up and away from the

workpiece and potentially toward the operator.

The lack of warning and high risk of injury from kickback

makes it extremely important to: (1) reduce the risk of

kickback, and (2) protect yourself in case it does occur.

Support

Take these precautions to help prevent the most com-

mon causes of kickback:

• Hold the saw firmly with both hands and position

arms to help resist kickback forces. Always stand to

one side of the saw when operating—never directly

behind it. When kickback does occur, it will eject

the saw back toward the operator.

• Ensure the workpiece remains level and immobile

throughout your cut. Do not cut warped, cupped,

or twisted workpieces. Minimize the chances of the

workpiece rocking, rotating, or shifting, which could

bind the blade and allow kickback to occur. Clamp

workpiece in place if necessary.

• Support large panels, making sure supports are

positioned under both sides of the cutting line.

• Allow blade to reach full speed before starting the

cut.

• To help prevent the blade from binding in the

workpiece: (1) keep cuts straight, (2) maintain

a consistent depth and angle throughout cut, (3)

provide proper workpiece support on both sides of

the cut (see Figures 1–2).

• Follow cuts through to completion

whenever possible. If a cut must be

stopped before completion or the

blade begins to bind, release the

ON/OFF trigger and hold the saw

motionless while the blade comes to a

complete stop before removing it from

the workpiece. When resuming the

cut, center your blade in the kerf and

ensure that the teeth are not touching

the workpiece.

• Only use sharp, clean, undamaged

blades. Dull blades create much more

friction and resistance while cutting,

which greatly increases the risk of

kickback.
