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. 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.
Safety warnings specific for
grinding and abrasive cutting-o
operations
• Use only wheel types that are
recommended for your power tool and
the specific guard designed for the
selected wheel. Wheels for which the
power tool was not designed cannot be
adequately guarded and are unsafe.
• The grinding surface of centre
depressed wheels must be mounted
below the plane of the guard lip. An
improperly mounted wheel that projects
through the plane of the guard lip cannot
be adequately protected.
• 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-o wheel. Abrasive cut-o 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-o wheels may be di erent 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.
Additional safety warnings specific
for abrasive cutting-o
• Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply
excessive pressure. Do not attempt to
make an excessive depth of cut. Over
stressing the wheel increases the loading
and susceptibility to twisting or binding
of the wheel in the cut and the possibility
of kickback or wheel breakage.
• Do not position your body in line with
and behind the rotating wheel. When the
wheel, at the point of operation, is
moving away from your body, the
possible kickback may propel the
spinning wheel and the power tool
directly at you.
• When wheel is binding or when
interrupting a cut for any reason, switch
o the power tool and hold the power
tool motionless until the wheel comes to
a complete stop. Never attempt to
remove the cut-o
while the wheel is in motion otherwise
kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of
wheel binding.
