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 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 with both hands on the power
tool and position your body and arms 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 reaction 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,
segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap
greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such
blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and
Cutting‑Off Operations
a ) Use only wheel types that are specified 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.
b ) 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.
c ) 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.
d ) Wheels must be used only for specified 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.
e ) 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.
f ) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
tools. A wheel intended for larger power tool is not
suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and
may burst.
g ) When using dual purpose wheels always use the
correct guard for the application being performed.
Failure to use the correct guard may not provide
the desired level of guarding, which could lead to
serious injury.
Additional Safety Warnings Specific for
Cutting‑Off Operations
a ) Do not "jam" the cut‑off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth
of cut. Overstressing 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.
b ) Do not position your body in line with and behind
the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of
operations, is moving away from your body, the possible
kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power
tool directly at you.
c ) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold it
motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the cut‑off wheel from the
cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback
may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to
eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
d ) Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and
carefully re‑enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up
or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
e ) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line
of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of
the wheel.
f ) Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or
objects that can cause kickback.
g ) Do not attempt to do curved cutting. Overstressing 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, which can lead to serious injury.

Sanding Operations
a ) Use proper sized sanding disk paper. Follow
manufacturers recommendations, when selecting
