Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and the saw
is driven back towards you. Blade stalling is caused by any
action which pinches the blade in the wood.

of control can lead to serious injury.
To guard against kickback, avoid dangerous practices such

Setting blade depth incorrectly
 Sawing into knots or nails in workpiece
 Twisting the blade while making a cut
