It can be prevented through suitable precautions, as described below. • Hold the saw securely with both hands and place your arms in a position where you can absorb the recoil forces. Always position yourself to the side of the saw blade, never bring the saw blade in line with your body. Recoil can cause the circular saw to jump backwards. • If the saw blade jams or you interrupt your work, switch off the saw and keep it in the material until the saw blade has come to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the workpiece or pull it back
