wheel that is entering into the pinch 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 the direc-
tion of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions. Kickback is a result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
•
Maintain a firm grip on the 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 precau-
tions taken.
•
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
•
Do not position your body in the area where tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will pro-
pel 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 or toothed saw blade. Such blades create fre-
quent kickback and loss of control.
