2) Kickback and related warnings
• Kickback is a sudden rea cti on to a pinched or snagged rota ting wheel, backing pad, brush or any other
accessory . Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rota ting accessory which in turn causes the
uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direc tion opposite of the accessory’s rota tion 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 the direc tion of
the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Ab rasive wheels may also break under these c onditions. •
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect opera ting procedures or c onditions and can be
avoided by taking proper prec autions as gi ven below .
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forc es. Al ways use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reac tio n
during start- up. The operator can control torque rea cti ons or kickback forces, if proper preca ution s are
tak en.
b) Never place your hand near the rota tin g accessory . The accessory may kickback over your hand. c) Do
not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occur s. Kickback will propel the
tool in the dir ection opposi te to the wheel’s movement at the point of snag ging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges et c. A void bouncing and snagging the accessory .
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rota ting accessory and cause loss of control
or kickback.
e) Do not a tt ach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw b lade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of contr ol.
