Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating blade. 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 t
he accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if a blade is snagged or pinched by the stone, the edge of the blade that is
entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the blade to climb
out or kick out. The blade may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on
direction of the blade’s movement at the point of pinching
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.
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.
Extending the cutting line
To extend the cutting line run the motor at full speed and tap the cutting head on the ground.
This will automatically extend the line. The line cutter under the outside guard will cut the line to
the appropriate length
