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.

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. 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 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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

GRINDING AND CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS

Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and

Abrasive 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 grinding surface of centre depressed

wheels must be mounted below the plane

of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel

that projects through the plane of the guard lip

cannot be adequately protected.

c) 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 operator from broken wheel

fragments and accidental contact with wheel and

sparks that could ignite clothing.

d) Wheels must be used only for

recommended applications. For example:

do not grind with the side of cut-off

wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for

peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these

wheels may cause them to shatter.

e) Always use undamaged wheel ﬂanges

that are of correct size and shape for your

selected wheel. Proper wheel ﬂanges support

the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel

breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be

different from grinding wheel ﬂanges.

f) Do not use worn down wheels from larger

power tools. Wheel intended for larger power

tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a

smaller tool and may burst.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS

Additional Safety Warnings Specific for

Abrasive 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 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 reenter 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
