KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or other accessory. The
edge of the wheel enters the pinch point and digs into the material, causing the wheel to climb out or kick out in the
direction opposite of the accessory's rotation. Kickback may result in:
1. Serious injury to yourself or others.
2. Loss of control over the tool.
3. Damage to the tool or cut off wheel.
4. Damage to the workpiece.
Kickback can be avoided by taking proper precautions:
1. Maintain a firm grip on the tool and position your body and arms to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Kickback will propel the tool in the direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the time of snagging.
2. Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. If kickback occurs, the wheel may pass over your hand
and seriously injure you. Use clamps or a vice to hold down the workpiece.
3. Use special care when working on corners, sharp edges etc. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a
tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
4. Only use the cut off wheels designed for tool.
