sufficient distance of the hand from the saw

blade.

f) Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A

damaged or cut push stick may break causing

your hand to slip into the saw blade.

g) Do not perform any operation "freehand".

Always use either the rip fence or the mitre

gauge to position and guide the workpiece.

"Freehand" means using your hands to

support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip

fence or mitre gauge. Freehand sawing leads to

misalignment, binding and kickback.

h) Never reach around or over a rotating saw

blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead to

accidental contact with the moving saw blade.

i) Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the

rear and/or sides of the saw table for long and/

or wide workpieces to keep them level. A long

and/or wide workpiece has a tendency to pivot

on the table's edge, causing loss of control, saw

blade binding and kickback.

j) Feed the workpiece at an even pace. Do not

bend, twist or shift the workpiece from side

to side. If jamming occurs, turn the tool off

immediately, unplug the tool, then clear the

jam. Jamming the saw blade by the workpiece

can cause kickback or stall the motor.

k) Do not remove pieces of cut-off material

while the saw is running. The material may

become trapped between the fence or inside

the saw blade guard and the saw blade pulling

your fingers into the saw blade. Turn the saw

off and wait until the saw blade stops before

removing material.

l) Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the

table top when ripping workpieces less than

2 mm thick. A thin workpiece may wedge under

the rip fence and create a kickback.

3) Kickback causes and related warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece

due to a pinched, jammed saw blade or

misaligned line of cut in the workpiece with

respect to the saw blade or when a part of the

workpiece binds between the saw blade and the

rip fence or other fixed object.

Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece

is lifted from the table by the rear portion of the

saw blade and is propelled towards 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.

a) Never stand directly in line with the saw

blade. Always position your body on the same

side of the saw blade as the fence. Kickback may

propel the workpiece at high velocity towards

anyone standing in front and in line with the saw

blade.

b) Never reach over or in back of the saw blade

to pull or to support the workpiece. Accidental

contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback

may drag your fingers into the saw blade.

c) Never hold and press the workpiece that is

being cut off against the rotating saw blade.

Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the

saw blade will create a binding condition and

kickback.

d) Align the fence to be parallel with the

saw blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the

workpiece against the saw blade and create

kickback.

e) Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece

against the table and fence when making

non-through cuts such as rabbeting, dadoing

or resawing cuts. A featherboard helps to control

the workpiece in the event of a kickback.

f) Use extra caution when making a cut into

blind areas of assembled workpieces. The

protruding saw blade may cut objects that can

cause kickback.

g) Support large panels to minimise the risk of

saw blade pinching and kickback. Large panels

tend to sag under their own weight. Support(s)

must be placed under all portions of the panel

overhanging the table top.

h) Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece

that is twisted, knotted, warped or does not

have a straight edge to guide it with a mitre

gauge or along the fence. A warped, knotted,

or twisted workpiece is unstable and causes

misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade,

binding and kickback.

i) Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked

vertically or horizontally. The saw blade could

pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback.

j) When restarting the saw with the saw blade

in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the

kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged in

the material. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up

the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw

is restarted.
