• If the saw blade snags or jams in the kerf, it binds and motor force drives the power tool back
toward the operator.
• If the saw blade twists or is out of alignment in the kerf, the teeth at the trailing edge of the saw
blade can snag in the surface of the workpiece, flicking the saw blade out of the kerf and driving
the power tool back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions. It
can be avoided by taking the proper precautions as described below.
Hold the power tool firmly, with your arms into a position where you can absorb the kickback
▶
forces. Always position yourself off to one side of the saw blade; never bring the blade into line
with your body. In the event of a kickback, the power tool can jump backwards, but the operator
can control the kickback forces by taking appropriate precautions.
If the saw blade jams and when you interrupt the operation, switch off the power tool and hold it
▶
with the saw blade in the material until the saw blade has come to a standstill. Never attempt to
remove the power tool from the workpiece or pull it back while the saw blade is in motion, because
kickback can occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of the blade
binding.
To restart a power tool that is stuck in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf and make
▶
sure that no teeth are snagged in the workpiece. If the saw blade is jammed it can flick out of the
kerf or cause kickback when the power tool is restarted.
Support large rebar to reduce the risk of kickback from a jammed saw blade. Large rebar can bend
▶
under its own weight.
Do not use a dulled or damaged saw blade. A saw blade with dulled or misaligned teeth causes
▶
increased friction, binding of the saw blade and kickback due to a narrow kerf.
Power tool use and care
Never use the product without the blade cover.
▶
Tighten the insert tool and clamping flange securely. If the insert tool and clamping flange are not
▶
tightened securely, the insert tool can work loose from the arbor due to the braking effect of the
motor as it slows down after being switched off.
Match the forward pressure of the product to the saw blade and the workpiece. In this way you
▶
prevent the saw blade from stalling and possibly causing kickback.
Start cutting only after the product has reached maximum speed. Touching the saw blade to the
▶
workpiece before starting the motor overloads and damages the saw blade, possibly resulting in
serious injury.
Do not cut material that in size exceeds the cutting capacity of the product.
▶
Make sure the saw blade is not deformed, chipped, cracked or worn out. Do not use a saw blade
▶
that exhibits damage or wear. Cutting under such conditions can cause further damage to the
blade, chip collection bag with the adapter, and even result in serious injury.
Use only saw blades approved for the product that correspond to the specifications in the technical
▶
data. Using the saw blade for other applications can cause excessive wear, detachment of the
blade, low cutting performance and abnormal generation of heat, resulting in damage to the saw
blade and serious injury.
Do not use the product to cut material that is not specified in Intended Use
▶
Electrical safety
Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water
▶
pipes. External metal parts of the product could give you an electric shock or an explosion could
result if you accidentally damage an electric cable or a gas or water pipe.
Dirty or dusty products that have been used frequently for work on conductive materials should
▶
be checked at regular intervals by Hilti Service. Dust (especially dust from conductive materials)
or dampness adhering to the surface of the power tool may, under unfavorable conditions, lead to
electric shock.
