causes and operator Prevention of Kickback
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel 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 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 reaction 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
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 grinding surface of the centre depressed
wheels must be mounted below the plane of the
guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that projects
through the plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately
protected.
c. 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 the operator
from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with
wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
d. 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.
e 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 be different from grinding wheel flanges.
f 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.
additional Safety Information
♦ This tool is not designed to be used with wire wheels
and wire cup.
WarnInG: We recommend the use of a residual
current device with a residual current rating of
30mA or less.
reSIDUaL rISKS
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual
risks cannot be avoided. These are:
– Impairment of hearing
– Risk of personal injury due flying particles.
– Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
during operation.
– Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
– Risk of dust from hazardous substances.
