    • M
      Melanie WebbAug 22, 2025
      If material kicks back from the blade on your Tradesman Saw, consider these potential causes and solutions: 1. Ensure the rip fence is properly aligned with the miter gauge slot. Adjust if necessary. 2. Check the alignment of the splitter with the blade and adjust if needed. 3. Always use the rip fence when feeding stock. Install and use it if you haven't been. 4. Make sure the splitter is installed and used with the guard. 5. A dull blade can cause kickback, so replace the blade if it's not sharp. 6. Maintain control of the material until it has completely passed the saw blade. 7. Ensure the miter angle lock knob is tight.
