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) 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.
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 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.
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.
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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
