If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator. When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator. Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the tool user. At first I did not like that the tool did not have a button to push to lock the blade spindle but after realizing the safety advantage, I was sold. The Vari-torque clutch reduces the saw’s tendency to KICKBAC K. One feature that was nice to see was the Vari-torque clutch that Skil designed into their blade nut and outer washer. Additional features like a power-on indicator, safety lock/guarded trigger and anti-snag lower guard make the saw safer to use. The tool has a wide foot plate which will assist the user with tool stability when cutting. The saw also has a Laser Cut-line Guide which helps it’s user make more accurate cuts. Having the ability to bevel to 51 degrees is a nice to have if needed option. The SKIL 5680-02 includes a 51 Degree bevel with positive stop at 45 Degree for increased accuracy and a wider variety of cuts. The Skilsaw has been around for 74 years and this new SKILSAW was specifically designed for DIYers. The folks at SKIL recently sent me their upgraded SKIL 5680-02 – 7-1/4-Inch circular saw to evaluate and review. 7-1/4″ Skilsaw® with Laser Model Model #5680-02
