• kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed or misaligned
saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the
workpiece toward the operator;
• when the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the kerf closing
down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit
rapidly back toward the operator;
• 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.
