workpiece gets caught by the rear section of the saw blade, gets
lifted from the saw table and thrown in the direction of the operator.
Kickback is the result of the bench-type circular saw being used in-
correctly or wrongly. It can be prevented by suitable precautions, as
described below.
a) Never position yourself in a direct line with the saw blade.
Always stand to the side of the saw blade, at the side with
the stop rail. In the event of kickback, the workpiece can be
thrown at high speed towards persons who are standing in line
with the saw blade.
b) Never reach into or behind the saw blade to pull or support
the workpiece. This could lead to accidental contact with the
saw blade, or kickback could cause your fi ngers to be drawn into
the saw blade.
c) Never hold and press a workpiece against the rotating saw
blade when you want to saw the workpiece. Pressing the
workpiece against the saw blade when sawing workpiece will re-
sult in jamming and kickback.
d) Align the stop rail parallel to the saw blade. If the stop rail is
not properly aligned, the workpiece will press against the saw
blade and cause kickback.
e) Do not use this saw to cut rebates or grooves. For design
reasons, the saw is not suitable for such work. The splitter must
never be removed, because it prevents jamming and kickbacks.
f) Be particularly careful when sawing in areas into which
you cannot see on workpieces which have been joined
together. The plunge-cutting saw blade may saw into objects
which could cause kickback.
g) Support large panels to reduce the risk of a kickback by
a jammed saw blade. Large panels may sag under their own
weight. Panels must be provided with support at all points where
they project over the table surface.
h) Do not work on any workpieces which are twisted, knotted
or warped or do not have a straight edge on which they can
be guided with a miter stop or along a stop rail. A warped,
