a) Never stand directly in line with the saw blade.
Always position your body on the same side of
the saw blade as the fence. Kickback may pro-
pel the workpiece at high velocity towards anyone
standing in front and in line with the saw blade.
b) Never reach over or in back of the saw blade
to pull or to support the workpiece. Accidental
contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback
may drag your ngers into the saw blade.
c) Never hold and press the workpiece that is be-
ing cut o󰀨 against the rotating saw blade. Press-
ing the workpiece being cut o󰀨 against the saw
blade will create a binding condition and kickback.
d) Align the fence to be parallel with the saw
blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the work-
piece against the saw blade and create kickback.
e) Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece
against the table and fence when making non-
through cuts such as rabbeting, dadoing or re-
sawing cuts. A featherboard helps to control the
workpiece in the event of a kickback.
f) Use extra caution when making a cut into blind
areas of assembled workpieces. The protruding
saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
g) Support large panels to minimise the risk of
saw blade pinching and kickback. Large pan-
els tend to sag under their own weight. Support(s)
must be placed under all portions of the panel
overhanging the table top.
h) Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece
that is twisted, knotted, warped or does not
have a straight edge to guide it with a mitre
gauge or along the fence. A warped, knotted,
or twisted workpiece is unstable and causes mis-
alignment of the kerf with the saw blade, binding
and kickback.
i) Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked
vertically or horizontally. The saw blade could
pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback.
j) When restarting the saw with the saw blade
in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the
kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged in
the material. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up
the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw
is restarted.
k) Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with suf-
cient set. Never use warped saw blades or
saw blades with cracked or broken teeth.
Sharp and properly set saw blades minimise bind-
ing, stalling and kickback.
g) Do not perform any operation “freehand”.
Always use either the rip fence or the mitre
gauge to position and guide the workpiece.
“Freehand” means using your hands to sup-
port or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip
fence or mitre gauge. Freehand sawing leads to
misalignment, binding and kickback.
h) Never reach around or over a rotating saw
blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead to ac-
cidental contact with the moving saw blade.
i) Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the
rear and/or sides of the saw table for long and/
or wide workpieces to keep them level. A long
and/or wide workpiece has a tendency to pivot on
the table’s edge, causing loss of control, saw blade
binding and kickback.
j) Feed workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend
or twist the workpiece. If jamming occurs, turn
the tool o󰀨 immediately, unplug the tool then
clear the jam. Jamming the saw blade by the
workpiece can cause kickback or stall the motor.
k) Do not remove pieces of cut-o󰀨 material while
the saw is running. The material may become
trapped between the fence or inside the saw blade
guard and the saw blade pulling your ngers into
the saw blade. Turn the saw o󰀨 and wait until the
saw blade stops before removing material.
l) Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the ta-
ble top when ripping workpieces less than 2
mm thick. A thin workpiece may wedge under the
rip fence and create a kickback.
Kickback causes and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due
to a pinched, jammed saw blade or misaligned line of
cut in the workpiece with respect to the saw blade or
when a part of the workpiece binds between the saw
blade and the rip fence or other xed object.
Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece is lift-
ed from the table by the rear portion of the saw blade
and is propelled towards the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incor-
rect operating procedures or conditions. And can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
