KIIC

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or misaligned saw blade, causing an
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the work piece toward the operator.

When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and
the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator.

Keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blade, but not in line with the
saw blade. KICKBACK could cause the saw to jump backwards (See “Causes and
Prevention of Kickback”)
