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
conditions.
Kickback
is
the
result
of
power
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
reactions
or
kickback
forces,
if
proper
precautions
are
taken.
b)
Never
place
your
hand
near
the
rotating
accessory.
The
accessory
may
kickback
over
your
hand.
c)
Do
not
position
your
body
in
the
area
where
the
power
tool
will
move
if
kickback
occurs.
Kickback
will
propel
the
tool
in
the
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.
ADDITIONAL
SAFETY
WARNINGS
a)
Use
suitable
detectors
to
determine
if
utility
lines
are
hidden
in
the
work
area
or
call
the
local
utility
company
for
assistance.
Contact
with
electric
lines
can
lead
to
fire
and
electric
shock.
Damaging
a
gas
line
can
lead
to
explosion.
Penetrating
a
water
line
causes
property
damage
or
may
cause
an
electric
shock.
b)
Do
not
touch
diamond
grinding
tools
before
they
have
cooled.
Diamond
grinding
tools
become
very
hot
while
working.
c)
When
working
stone,
use
dust
extraction.
The
vacuum
cleaner
must
be
approved
for
the
extraction
of
stone
dust.
Using
this
equipment
reduces
dust
‐
related
hazards.
d)
When
working
with
the
machine,
always
hold
it
firmly
with
both
hands
and
provide
for
a
secure
stance.
The
power
tool
is
guided
more
secure
with
both
hands.
e)
Secure
the
workpiece.
A
workpiece
clamped
with
clamping
devices
or
in
a
vice
is
held
more
secure
than
by
hand.
f)
Keep
your
workplace
clean.
Blends
of
materials
are
particularly
dangerous.
Dust
from
light
alloys
can
burn
or
explode.
g)
Never
use
the
machine
with
a
damaged
cable.
Do
not
touch
the
damaged
cable
and
pull
the
mains
plug
when
the
cable
is
damaged
while
working.
Damaged
cables
increase
the
risk
of
an
electric
shock.
