The word kickback is used to describe the sudden reaction 
that causes the power cutter and cutting blade to be thrown 
from an object when the upper quadrant of the blade, known 
as the kickback zone, touches an object.

Kickback only occurs when the cutting blades kickback zone 
touches an object.

•

Never use the kickback zone of the blade for cutting.

•

Keep a good balance and a firm foothold. Stand at a 
comfortable distance from the work piece.

•

Always cut at maximum speed.

•

Take care when inserting the blade in an existing cut. 
Never cut in a narrower pre-cut cut.

•

Never cut above shoulder height.

•

Be alert to movement of the work piece or anything else 
that can occur, which could cause the cut to close and 
pinch the blade.

Pinching is when the cut closes and pinches the blade. If the 
blade is pinched or stalled the reactive force will be strong and 
you might not be able to control the power cutter.

If the blade is pinched or stalled in the kickback zone, the 
reactive force will push the power cutter up and back towards 
the user in a rotating motion causing serious or even fatal 
injury.

Avoiding kickback is simple.

•

The work piece must always be supported so that the cut 
stays open when cutting through. When the cut opens 
there is no kickback. If the cut closes and pinches the 
blade ther is always a risk of kickback.

•

Take care when inserting the blade in an existing cut.

•

Be alert to movement of the work piece or anything else 
that can occur, which could cause the cut to close and 
pinch the blade.

•

Secure the equipment during transportation in order to 
avoid transport damage and accidents.

"Blades".

For transport and storage of fuel, see the section "Fuel 
handling".

•

Store the equipment in a lockable area so that it is out of 
reach of children and unauthorized persons.
