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 pinch-
ing. 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
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory.
If you lose control, the cord may
be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may
be pulled into the spinning accessory.
l) Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The
spinning accessory may grab the surface and
pull the power tool out of your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying
it at your side.
Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your clothing,
pulling the accessory into your body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the
housing and excessive accumulation of
powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite
these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.

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
