Anti‐Kickback

Anti‐Kickback protection is important.One source of kickba ck is

createdwhentheteethatthebackofthebladecomeincontactwith

thematerialbeingcut,causingthematerialtorideupontheblade,

forcing

the materialtobe thrownin the direction that thebladeis

rotating.Welldesignedsolutionscanbothprotectagainstkickback,

andoffer additionaladvantages.The useof arivingknife  can help

preventkickbackbykeepingthesawkerfopen,andthetopofthebackteethcovered,whichgreatly



reducesthepotentialforkickback.Therivingknifeshouldmovewiththebladetokeepthedistance,or

gap,betweentheknifeandtheteethconstantovertheentirerangeofcuttingdepths.
