pipe is not properly supported and the cut kept open

k ick back zone and c ause a severe kickback. Be especially

alert when cutting a pipe with a belled end or a pipe in a

t rench that, if not proper ly s upported, may sag and pinch

t he blade.

How to aviod kickback

Avoiding k ick back is simple.

The work piece must always be s upported so that the cut

s tay s open when cutting through. When the cut opens

there is no k ickback. If the c ut closes and pinches the

blade there is always a risk of kickback .

T ake care when inserting the blade in an existing cut.

Be alert to movement of the work piece or any thing els e

that can occur, which c ould cause the cut to close and

pinch the blade.
