5.2 SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POLISHERS
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 edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory.
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the
rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
E)
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
F)
Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment strings to
spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings.
Loose and spinning
attachment strings can entangle your fingers or snag on the workpiece.
