Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or attaching a rotating wheel, a
bearing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or hanging causes rapid
stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn forced the tool Power out of control
in the opposite direction of rotation of the accessory to the point of seizing.
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 jumps or expulsion of the grinding wheel. The wheel can
jump towards the operator or by moving away, as the direction of movement of
the grinding wheel at the point of pinch. Abrasive wheels may also break under
these conditions. Kickback is the result of misuse of the tool and / or procedures
or conditions incorrect operation and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions specified below.
a) Maintain firmly the power tool and position your body and arm for you allow to
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, where applicable, for
maximum control of kickback or torque reaction during startup. The operator can
control the reaction torques or forces rebound, if precautions are taken.
