• 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 the 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 an 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. The 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 the 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 sawchain woodcarving saw blade or tooth saw blade. Such blades can cause
frequent kickbacks and loss of control.
