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.
1) 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.
2) Never place your hand near the
rotating accessory. Accessory may
kickback over your hand.
3) 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.
4) 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.
5) Do not attach a saw chain
woodcarving blade, segmented
diamond wheel with a peripheral
gap greater than 10 mm or
toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of
control.
Specific safety instructions for grinding
and abrasive cutting
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) 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 the operator from
broken wheel fragments, accidental contact
with wheel and sparks that could ignite
clothing.
4) 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.
5) 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.
6) 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.
