Below are ways to avoid the most common 
causes of kickback:
• 
Only cut workpieces with at least one 
smooth and straight edge. DO NOT cut 
warped, cupped or twisted wood.
• 
Never attempt freehand cuts. If the 
workpiece is not fed parallel with the 
blade, kickback will likely occur. Always use 
the rip fence or miter gauge to support the 
workpiece.
• 
Make sure the spreader or riving knife 
is aligned with the blade. A misaligned 
spreader or riving knife can cause the 
workpiece to catch or bind, increasing the 
chance of kickback. If you think that your 
spreader or riving knife is not aligned with 
the blade, check it immediately!
• 
Take the time to check and adjust the rip 
fence parallel with the blade; otherwise, 
the chances of kickback are extreme. 
• 
The spreader or riving knife maintains the 
kerf in the workpiece, reducing the chance 
of kickback. Always use the riving knife for 
all non-through operations, unless a dado 
blade is installed. Always use the spreader 
with the blade guard for all through cuts.
• 
Feed cuts through to completion. Anytime 
you stop feeding a workpiece in the middle 
of a cut, the chance of kickback is greatly 
increased.
• 
Keep the blade guard installed and in good 
working order. Only remove it when per-
forming non-through cuts and immediately 
re-install the blade guard when finished. 
Remember, always use the riving knife for all 
non-through operations, unless a dado blade 
is installed.
•  Make multiple, shallow passes when per-
forming a non-through cut. Making a deep 
non-through cut will greatly increase the 
chance of kickback.

Even if you know how to prevent kickback, 
it may still happen. Here are some ways to 
protect yourself if kickback DOES occur:
• 
Stand to the side of the blade during every 
cut. If kickback does occur, the thrown 
workpiece usually travels directly in front 
of the blade.
• 
Wear safety glasses or a face shield. In the 
event of kickback, your eyes and face are 
the most vulnerable part of your body.
• 
Never, for any reason, place your hand 
behind the blade. Should kickback occur, 
your hand may be pulled into the blade, 
which could cause amputation.
• 
Use a push stick to keep your hands farther 
away from the moving blade. If kickback 
occurs, the push stick will most likely take 
the damage that your hand would have 
received.
• 
Use featherboards or anti-kickback devices 
to prevent or slow down kickback.
