from the operator, depending on
the direction of rotation of the disc
at the blocked spot. Here, the
grinding discs can also break. A
kickback is caused by wrongly or
incorrectly operating the electric
tool. It can be avoided by suitable
cautionary measures, such as de-
scribed below.
a) Hold the electric tool very firmly
and bring your body and your
arm into a position in which you
can resist the kickback force.
Always use the supplemental
handle if available to give you
the best control over kickback
force or reaction time during
acceleration. The operator can
master the kickback and reac-
tion force through suitable pre-
cautions.
b) Never bring your hands near a
rotating attachment tool. The
attachment tool can run over
your hand in the kickback.
c) Keep your body away from the
area in which the electric tool
would move during a kickback.
The kickback drives the electric
tool in the counter-direction to
the rotation of the grinding disc
at the blocked spot.
d) Work particularly cautiously in
corner areas or where there are
sharp corners etc. Prevent the
attachment tools from recoiling
from the workpiece and jam-
ming. The rotating attachment
tool tends to jam when near
corners, sharp edges or when it
recoils from such. This causes
a loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not use chain or toothed
saw blades. Such attachment
tools frequently cause a kick-
back or loss of control over the
electric tool.
f) Avoid blocking the cutting disc
or pressing down too hard. Do
not make any excessively deep
cuts. Overloading the cutting
disc increases wear and its ten-
dency to tilt or block and, with
that, to kickback or break the
grinder.
g) If the cutting disc jams, or you
interrupt your work, switch the
device off and hold it until the
disc has come to a full stop.
Never try to pull the cutting disc
out of the cut while it is still run-
ning, because it can kick back.
Identify and correct the cause
of the jamming.
h) Do not switch the electric tool
on again as long as it is in the
workpiece. Allow the cutting
disc to first reach its full rota -
tional speed before you care-
fully resume with the cutting.
Otherwise, the disc may catch,
spring away from the workpiece
or cause a kickback.
