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 line with the rotating wheel. 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, segmented diamond wheel
with a peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such
blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
•
Do not apply excessive pressure on the wheel. 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.
•
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 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.
•
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach
full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or
kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
•
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel
pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own
weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut
and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
•
Use extra caution when making a pocket cut into existing walls or other
blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical
wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
