If kickback occurs:

The cutting accessory may pass over a body part, causing a

seriously injury;

A rotary bit may wrench the user' s arm causing muscle or joint

injuries; and

The tool may strike bystanders.

Use clamps or a vice to hold down smaller workpieces.

Use special care when working on corners, sharp edges or flexible

material. These workpieces have a tendency to snag the

cutting accessory.

When the blade is the binding, or when interrupting a cut for any

reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material

until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the

saw from the workpiece or pull the saw backward while the blade is in

motion as kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions

to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the

kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw

blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the

saw is restarted.

Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and

kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports

must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and

near the edge of the panel.

Use extra caution when making a plunge cut into existing walls or other

blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
