Note: The above warning does not apply
for power tools specifically designed for
use with a liquid system.
Kickback and 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.
•
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.
•
Never place your hand near
the rotating accessory. Accessory may
kickback over your hand.
•
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.
•
Use special care when working
corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid
bouncing and snagging the accessory.
(Original instructions)
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing
have a tendency to snag the rotating
accessory and cause loss of control or
kickback.
• Do not attach a saw chain
woodcarving blade or toothed saw
blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
Additional safety instructions for
grinding and cutting-off operations
Safety warnings specific for grinding
and abrasive cutting-off operations
• Use only wheel types that
are recommended for your power
tool and the specific guard designed
for theselected wheel. Wheels for
which the power tool was not designed
cannot be adequately guarded and are
unsafe.
• The guard must be securely attached
to the power tool and positioned
for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed towards
the operator. The guard helps to
protect operator from broken wheel
fragments and accidental contact with
wheel.
• Wheels must be used only for
recommended applications. For
example: do not grind with the side of
cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels
are intended for peripheral grinding,
side forces applied to these wheels may
cause them to shatter.
• Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct size and shape
for your selected wheel. Proper wheel
flanges support the wheel thus
reducing the possibility of wheel
breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels
may be different from grinding wheel
flanges.
• Do not use worn down wheels from
larger power tools. Wheel intended for
larger power tool is not suitable for the
higher speed of a smaller tool and may
burst.
