Why does material kick back from the blade on my Hitachi C 10FL Saw?

If your Hitachi Saw material kicked back from the blade, it could be due to several reasons: * The rip fence might be out of adjustment, so align the rip fence with the miter gauge slot. * The splitter might not be aligned with the blade, so align the splitter with the blade. * You might be feeding stock without a rip fence, so install and use the rip fence. * The splitter might not be in place, so install and use the splitter (with guard). * The blade might be dull, so replace the blade. * The operator might be letting go of the material before it is past the saw blade, so push the material all the way past the saw blade before releasing the work. * The miter/bevel angle lock knob might not be tight, so tighten the knob.
