Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged

rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling

of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled

power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the wheel’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 hold front and rear

handle 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 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.

power tool are not suitable for the higher speed of a

smaller tool and mayburst.

g ) The outside diameter and the thickness of your

accessory must be within the capacity rating of

your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot

be adequately guarded orcontrolled.

h ) The arbor size of wheels and flanges must

properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Wheels

and flanges with arbour holes that do not match the

mounting hardware of the power tool will run out

of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss

ofcontrol.

i ) Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use,

inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If power

tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or

install an undamaged wheel. After inspecting

and installing the wheel, position yourself and

bystanders away from the plane of the rotating

wheel and run the power tool at maximum no

load speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will

normally break apart during this testtime.

j ) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending

on application, use face shield, safety goggles

or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust

mask, hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron

capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece

fragments. The eye protection must be capable

of stopping flying debris generated by various

operations. The dust mask or respirator must be

capable of filtering particles generated by your

operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise

may cause hearingloss.

k ) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from

work area. Anyone entering the work area must

wear personal protective equipment. Fragments

of workpiece or of a broken wheel may fly away and

cause injury beyond immediate area ofoperation.

l ) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, when performing an operation

where the cutting accessory may contact hidden

wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may

make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and

could give the operator an electricshock.

m ) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory

has come to a complete stop. The spinning wheel

may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of

yourcontrol.

n ) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your

side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory

could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into

yourbody.

o ) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The

motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and

excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause

electricalhazards.

p ) Do not operate the power tool near flammable

materials. Sparks could ignite thesematerials.
