2) 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 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.

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 and accidental contact with the wheel.

c) Wheels must be used only for recommended

applications. For example: Do not grind with the side

of a cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off 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 ﬂ anges support the wheel thus reducing

the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off

wheels may be different from grinding wheel ﬂ 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.
