Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating blade. 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 a blade is snagged or pinched by the stone, the edge of the blade that is
entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the blade to
climb out or kick out. The blade may either jump toward or away from the operator,
depending on direction of the blade's movement at the point of pinching.
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 tool and position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kick back forces.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kick back over
your hand.
c) 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.
Extending the cutting line
WARNING: Do not use any kind of metal wire or metal wire encased in plastic in the
cutting head. This may cause serious injuries to the user.
To extend the cutting line run the motor at full speed and tap the cutting head on the
ground. This will automatically extend the line. The cord cutter under the outer guard will
cut the line to the appropriate length. (fig.20)
