Additional 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 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 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 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 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.
