Kickback and Related Warnings
● Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, ba cking pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching
or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power 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 power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
b) 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.
c) 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.
