• 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.

a. 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.

b. 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.

c. 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.

d. 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.

e. Do not use dull or damaged blade. Unsharpened or

improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing

excessive friction, blade binding, and kickback.

f. 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.

g. 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.

Lower guard function

a. Check lower guard for proper closing before each

use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not

move freely and close instantly. 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.

b. 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.

c. Lower guard may be retracted manually only for

special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "compound

cuts". Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as

soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must

be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should

operate automatically.

d. Always observe that the lower guard is covering the

blade before placing 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.

Residual risks

Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool which

may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings. These

risks can arise from misuse, prolonged use etc.

Even with the application of the relevant safety regulations

and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual

risks can not be avoided. These include:
