Kickback Safety
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, sanding band, 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. 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. The operator can control kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) 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.
c) Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
d) Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting edge is exiting
from the material (which is the same direction as the chips are thrown). Feeding the tool in
the wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool
in the direction of this feed.
e) When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutters,
always have the work securely clamped. These wheels will grab if they become slightly canted
in the groove, and can kickback. When a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks.
When a rotary file, high-speed cutter or tungsten carbide cutter grabs, it may jump from the
groove and you could lose control of the tool.
Safety for Grinding & Abrasive
Cutting-off Operations
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and only for
recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of a cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels
may cause them to shatter.
b) For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only undamaged wheel mandrels with an
unrelieved shoulder flange that are of correct size and length. Proper mandrels will reduce
the possibility of breakage.
c) Do not "jam" a 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 snagging of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
d) Do not position your hand in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel,
at the point of operation, is moving away from your hand, the possible kickback may propel the
spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
e) When wheel is pinched, snagged 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 pinching or snagging.
f) 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.
g) 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.
h) Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings for Wire Brush
Operation
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation. Do
not overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily
penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least one minute before using them. During
this time no one is to stand in front or in line with the brush. Loose bristles or wires will be
discharged during the run-in time.
c) Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away from you. Small particles and tiny wire
fragments may be discharged at high velocity during the use of these brushes and may become
imbedded in your skin.
