• 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.

3) SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING AND

CUTTING OFF OPERATIONS

a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for

your power tool and the specific guard designed for

the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool

was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are

unsafe.

b) 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.

c) Wheels must be used only for recommended

applications. For example: Do not grind with the side of

a cut-o wheel. Abrasive cut-o wheels are intended for

peripheral grinding; side forces applied to these wheels

may cause them to shatter.

d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of

correct size and shape for your selected wheel.

Proper wheel anges support the wheel thus reducing

the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-o

wheels may be dierent from grinding wheel anges.

e) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power

tools. A wheel intended for a larger power tool is not

suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may

burst.

4) ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR

CUTTING OFF OPERATIONS

a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive

pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive

depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the

loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the

wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel

breakage.

b) Do not position your body in line with and behind

the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of

operation, is moving away from your body, the possible

kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power

tool directly at you.

c) When the wheel is binding or when interrupting a

cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and

hold the power tool motionless until the wheel

comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove

the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in

motion, otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate

and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel

binding.

d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the

workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and

carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up

or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.

e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to

minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.

Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.

Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the

line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both

sides of the wheel.

f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into

existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding

wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or

objects that can cause kickback.

5) SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR SANDING

OPERATIONS

a) When sanding, do not use excessively oversized

sanding disc paper. Follow the manufacturers’

recommendations when selecting sanding paper.

Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad

presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging,

tearing of the disc, or kickback.

6) SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR WIRE

BRUSHING OPERATIONS

a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush

even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress

the wires by applying excessive load to the brush.

The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/

or skin.

b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire

brushing, do not allow any interference of the wire

wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush

may expand in diameter due to work load and centrifugal

forces.
