• 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 operator.

• Kickback is the result of tool 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 body and arm to allow you to resist kickback

forces. 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, center the saw

blade in the kerf and check that the saw teeth are not

engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk

up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.

• Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching

and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight.

Support 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 blade. 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 cut. If blade adjustment shifts

while cutting, it may cause binding and KICKBACK.

• Use extra caution when making a “Pocket Cut” into existing

walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut

objects that can cause kickback.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses

are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting opera-

tion is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals

known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry

products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber

(CCA).

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you

do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:

work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed

to filter out microscopic particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.

Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with

soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or

lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust,

which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other

injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection

appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face

and body.
