KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS
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.
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.
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory
may kickback over your hand.
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.
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.
