Causes and Prevention of Kickback
• A kickback is the sudden reaction as a result of a stuck,
jammed or misaligned saw blade which leads to an uncon-
trolled saw to be lifted and moved from the workpiece out in
the direction of the operator.
• A kickback can occur when the saw blade gets stuck or
jammed in the saw gap. The saw blade is blocked and the
motor force repels the plunge saw in the direction of the opera-
tor.
• A kickback can occur when the saw blade becomes twisted or
misaligned in the saw groove. As a result, the teeth of the back
edge of the saw blade can get stuck in the surface of the
workpiece, whereby the saw blade is moved out of the saw
gap and the saw jumps back in the direction of the operator.
A kickback is the result of incorrect or faulty use of the saw. It can
be prevented by appropriate precautions as described below.
• Hold the saw firmly with both hands and bring your arms into a
position in which you can resist the kickback forces. Always
hold the saw blade on the side, never bring the blade in line
with your body. In a kickback, the saw can jump backwards,
but the operator can control the kickback forces if appropriate
measures were taken.
• If the saw blade jams or sawing is interrupted for any reason,
release the ON / OFF switch and calmly hold the saw in the
material until the saw blade stands completely still. Never
attempt to remove the saw from the workpiece or pull it back-
wards as long as the saw blade is moving or a kickback might
occur. Find the cause of the saw blade jam and eliminate them
through appropriate measures.
• When you want to restart a saw that is stuck in a workpiece,
center the saw blade in the saw gap and check that the saw
teeth are not stuck in the workpiece. If the saw blade jams, it
can move out from the workpiece or a kickback can happen if
the saw is restarted.
