Kickback
Kickback is a sudden, rearward motion of the saw that can
occur if the blades are stalled (pinched, jammed, twisted)
in the so called kickback zone. Most kickbacks are small
and felt as small "jerks" in the front handle. However,
kickback can be very powerful. If you are not paying
attention or have a poor grip the saw can be thrown all the
way back at you.
WARNING! Kickback can be very sudden
!
and viloent, throwing the saw back at
you. It can cause serious or even fatal
injuries. It is vital you understand what
causes kickback and how to aviod it
using proper cutting techique.
Cause of kickback
Kickback is caused if you are cutting with the kickback
zone of the blade for example when cutting "upwards" or
towards you.
