Causes of kickback
Kickback can occur when the blade stalls or
binds, kicking the workpiece back toward you
with great force and speed. If your hands are
near the saw blade, they may be jerked loose
from the workpiece and may contact the
blade. Obviously, kickback can cause serious

avoid the risks.
Kickback can be caused by any action that
pinches the blade in the wood, such as the fol-

• Making a cut with incorrect blade depth
• Sawing into knots or nails in the workpiece
• Twisting the wood while making a cut
• Failing to support work
• Forcing a cut
• Cutting warped or wet lumber
• Using the wrong blade for the type of cut
• Not following correct operating procedures
• Misusing the saw
• Failing to use the anti-kickback pawls
• Cutting with a dull, gummed-up, or improp-
erly set blade
Avoiding kickback
