Pinching kickback
• A blade is pinched when the cut closes and stops
the turning of the blade. If the blade is pinched, the
strength of the reactive force can cause loss a
kickback.
• Make sure that the work piece is held to keep the cut
open during a cutting operation. Make an estimate of
the possible movement of the work piece during last
phase of the cutting operation. Make sure that the
cut opens during the cutting operation. A cut that
closes can cause a pinching kickback.
To cut into pipes
WARNING: If the blade is pinched in the
kickback zone it will cause a kickback.
Be careful when cutting in pipes. The pipe is must kept
in place correctly and the cut kept open through out the
cutting. If not, the blade can be pinched. Be especially
careful when cutting a pipe with a bell end or a pipe in a
ditch. If it does not have correct support the blade can
be pinched.
