Kickback and corresponding
precautions
Kickback is the sudden reaction
from a chopping or blocked grind-
er attachment such as a grinding
disc, grinding plate, wire brush
etc. Chopping or blocking leads
to sudden stopping of the rotating
attachment. This causes an uncon-
trolled electric tool to accelerate in
a direction counter to the rotational
direction of the attachment tool. If,
for example, a grinding disc cuts
into the workpiece or blocks it, the
edge of the grinding disc that digs
into the workpiece can get caught
and, through that, break off the
grinding disc or cause a kickback.
The grinding disc then moves
towards or away from the opera-
tor, depending on the direction of
rotation of the disc at the blocked
spot. Here, the grinding discs can
also break. A kickback is caused
by wrongly or incorrectly operating
the electric tool. It can be avoided
by suitable cautionary measures,
such as described below.
a) Hold the electric tool very firmly
and bring your body and your
arm into a position in which you
36
can resist the kickback force. Al-
ways use the supplemental han-
dle if available to give you the
best control over kickback force
or reaction time during acceler-
ation. The operator can master
the kickback and reaction force
through suitable precautions.
b) Never bring your hands near a
rotating attachment tool. The at-
tachment tool can run over your
hand in the kickback.
c) Keep your body away from the
area in which the electric tool
would move during a kickback.
The kickback drives the electric
tool in the counter-direction to
the rotation of the grinding disc
at the blocked spot.
d) Work particularly cautiously in
corner areas or where there are
sharp corners etc. Prevent the
attachment tools from recoiling
from the workpiece and jam-
ming. The rotating attachment
tool tends to jam when near
corners, sharp edges or when it
recoils from such. This causes a
loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not use chain or toothed
saw blades. Such attachment
tools frequently cause a kick-
back or loss of control over the
electric tool.
