The cutting disc will then move
towards the operator or away from
them in accordance with the direc-
tion of rotation of the disc at the
blocked point. This may also cause
cutting discs to break.
A kickback is a consequence of
incorrect or faulty operation of the
power tool. It can be prevented by
the use of suitable measures, as
described below:
a Hold the power tool securely
with both hands and position
your body and arms in such a
way that you are able to absorb
any kickback. Always use the
additional handle, if there is one
available, in order to ensure you
have the greatest possible con­
trol over kickback forces or
reaction torque when the tool is
at top speed. The operator is able
to master kickback or reaction
forces if they take the appropriate
care.
b Never bring your hand close to
the rotating tool insert. The tool
may move over your hand in the
event of kickback.
c Avoid the area in front of and
behind the rotating cutting disc.
Kickback pushes the power tool
in the opposite direction to the
movement of the cutting disc at
the blocked point.
d Work particularly carefully in cor­
ner areas and on sharp edges,
etc. Make sure that tools do not
bounce off the workpiece and
become trapped.
The rotating tool will tend to jam
at corners and sharp edges, or
when it bumps against some­
5459200-Mauernutfraese_man.indd 57 5459200-Mauernutfraese_man.indd 57
thing. This will lead to a loss of
control or kickback.
e Do not use saw blades with
chains or teeth, or segmented
diamond discs with slits wider
than 10 mm. Such tools will often
cause kickback or loss of control
over the power tool.
f Avoid jamming the cutting disc
or applying too high a pressure.
Do not carry out any excessively
deep cuts. Overloading the cut-
ting disc increases the pressure
and the tendency to tilt or block
and thus increases the risk of
kickback or of the disc breaking.
g If the cutting disc blocks or you
stop working, switch the unit off
and hold it still until the disc has
come to a standstill. Never
attempt to pull a still operating
cutting disc out of the cut as this
may cause kickback. Investigate
and take corrective actions to
eliminate the cause of the jam.
h Do not switch the power tool
back on as long as it remains
stuck in the workpiece. Allow the
cutting disc to achieve the full
revolutions before you continue
to cut carefully. Otherwise, the
disc may get caught, jump out of
the workpiece or cause kickback.
i Support panels or large work­
pieces to minimise the risk of
kickback caused by a trapped
disc. Large workpieces may
bend under their own weight.
The workpiece should be support-
ed on both sides of the disc, both
in the vicinity of the cut and at the
edge.
