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
fi
rm 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.
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 AND
ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the speci
fi
c
guard designed for the selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are
unsafe.
b) The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be mounted below the
plane of the guard lip.
An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be
adequately protected.
c) 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 the operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact
with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not
grind with the side of cut-o
ff
wheel.
Abrasive
cut-o
ff
wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these
wheels may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel
fl
anges that are of correct size and shape for your
selected wheel.
Proper
wheel
fl
anges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
Flanges for cut-o
ff
wheels may be di
ff
erent from grinding wheel
fl
anges.
