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 the 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 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.

e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or

toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent

kickback and loss of control.
