FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
OPERATIONS
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel,
backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes
rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled
power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation
at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the
workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch
point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to
climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away
from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s movement
at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under
these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces.
Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum
control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The
operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if
proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where power
tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel
the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the
point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp
