Pinching kickback
Pinching is when the cut closes and pinches the blade. If
the blade is pinched or stalled the reactive force will be
strong and you might not be able to control the power
cutter.
If the blade is pinched or stalled in the kickback zone, the
reactive force will push the power cutter up and back
towards the user in a rotating motion causing serious or
even fatal injury.
Pipe cutting and pinching
Special care should be taken whet cutting in pipes. If the
pipe is not properly supported and the cut kept open
through out the cut the blade might be pinched in the
kickback zone and cause a severe kickback.
How to aviod kickback
Avoiding kickback is simple.
The work piece must always be supported so that the cut
stays open when cutting through. When the cut opens
there is no kickback. If the cut closes and pinches the
blade ther is always a risk of kickback.
Take care when inserting the blade in an existing cut.
Be alert to movement of the work piece or anything else
that can occur, which could cause the cut to close and
pinch the blade.
