Causes And Operator Prevention Of Kickback - Haussmann 59595070 Guide De L'utilisateur

Causes and OPeratOr PreventiOn OF KiCKBaCK

1) Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw
blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece
toward the operator.
2) 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.
3) If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the
back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing
the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
4) Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions. Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and
position your body and arm to allow you to resist KICKBACK forces.
KICKBACK forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper
precautions are taken.
warninG: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause many serious diseases such as cancer. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
1. Lead from lead-based paints,
2. Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
3. Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a
well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as
dust masks specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
This tool is intended to cut wood and wood-like products only. Dust
build-up around the lower guard and hub from other materials (masonry
or metal) may disable the lower guard operation.
