Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or attaching a rotating wheel, a bearing pad, brush
or any other accessory. Pinching or hanging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory
which in turn forced the tool Power out of control in the opposite direction of rotation of the
accessory to the point of seizing.
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
jumps or expulsion of the grinding wheel. The wheel can jump towards the operator or by
moving away, as the direction of movement of the grinding wheel at the point of pinch.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions. Kickback is the result of misuse of
the tool and / or procedures or conditions incorrect operation and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions specified below.
