KICKBACK & 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
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
UK
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.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR SANDING OPERATIONS
a) Do not use excessively oversized
sanding disc paper. Follow
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.
WARNING: the operation of any sanding
machine can result in foreign objects
being thrown towards your eyes, which
could result in severe eye damage. Before
beginning power tool operation, always wear
safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shield or a full face shield where needed.
WARNING: If any parts are missing, do
not operate your machine until the missing
parts are replaced. Failure to follow this rule
could result in serious personal injury.
