Additional Safety Instructions for all Operations.
Kickback and Related Warning
Kickback is a sudden reaction to 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 uncontrolled 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 work piece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the
pinch 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 the
direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also
break under these conditions. Kickback is a result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
Maintain a firm grip on the 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 taken.
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over
your hand.
Do not position your body in the area where tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the
point of snagging.
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.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control.
WARRANTY

by the machine on the application tool or work piece, use of force, consequential
damages, that can be traced to improper or insufficient maintenance by the customer or
third parties, damaging due to external influence such as sand or stones as well as
damages due to non-observance of the instructions such as connection to wrong voltages
