www.evolutionpowertools.com 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: 1. When the blade is pinched or bound tightly, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator. 2.
www.evolutionpowertools.com d) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on a bench or the floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released. e) Do not use High Speed Steel (HSS) saw blades. f) Inspect the machine and the blade before each use. Do not use deformed, cracked, worn or otherwise damaged blades.
