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 line with the rotating wheel. 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, segmented diamond wheel with a
peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
f) Do not ″jam″ the 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.
g) 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 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.
h) 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.
i) 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.
