KiCKbaCK and relaTed WarningS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel,
backing pad, brush 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
