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 operations
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 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 operator from
broken wheel fragments and accidental
contact with wheel and sparks that could
ignite clothing.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) 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.
Electrical safety
Your tool is double insulated;
therefore no earth wire is required.
Always check that the main voltage
corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate.
Warning!
If the power cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer,
authorized BLACK+DECKER Service Center
or an equally qualified person in order to
avoid damage or injury. If the power cord is
replaced by an equally qualified person, but
not authorized by BLACK+DECKER, the
warranty will not be valid.
