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.
a. 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.
b. Never place your hand near the
rotating accessory. Accessory may
kickback over your hand.
c. 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.
d. 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.
e. 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 Sanding
Operation
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc
paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations,
when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding
paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a
laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing
of the disc or kickback.
