Causes And Operator Prevention Of Kickback - Tack life TCS115A Bedienungsanleitung

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and shock the operator.
When ripping always use the rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves
the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of the blade binding.
Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of
arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will
run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers
and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.
Never use abrasive blades with this circular saw.

CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade,
causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the
operator;
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 the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK – cont'd
Maintain a firm grip on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback
forces. Position your body to the left or right side of the blade, but not in line
with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback
forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
