wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced
in the direction opposite of the wheel’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 irm 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 line with the rotating wheel.
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, segmented
diamond wheel with a peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or
toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback and
loss of control.
f) Do not “jam” the wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not
attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the
wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding
of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel
breakage.
g) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any
