Kickback and Related
Warnings
Safety Warnings Specific for
Grinding and Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
• 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.
• Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
• Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard
designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot
be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
• The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum
safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to
protect operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
• Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with
the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side
forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
• Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for your selected
wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel
breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
• Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel intended for larger power
tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
• Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of work piece or of a broken
accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation 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 shock
the operator.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
• Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
Safety Precautions
Additional Safety Warnings
Specific for Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
• Do not “jam” the cut-off 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.
• Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at
the point of operation, is moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel
the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
• When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool
and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise
kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel
binding.
