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.
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
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
fl
anges support the wheel
thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from
grinding wheel
fl
anges.
e.
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.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR SANDING
OPERATIONS
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc
paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations,
when selecting sanding paper.
Larger sanding paper
extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration
hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or
kickback.
