Kickback and corresponding safety instructions
Kickback is a sudden reaction caused when a rotating accessory tool, e.g. grinding disc,
grinding plate, wire brush, etc., catches or jams. Catching or jamming leads to an abrupt
stop of the rotating accessory tool. If this happens, an uncontrolled power tool turns rapidly
against the direction of rotation of the accessory tool caught in the blockage.
If, for example, a grinding disc catches or jams in a workpiece, the edge of the grinding
disc projecting into the workpiece can get caught and break off the grinding disc or cause
a kickback. The grinding disc can then fly in the direction of the operator or away from
him, depending on the direction of rotation of the disc at the blockage. This can also break
grinding discs.
A kickback is caused by improper or incorrect use of the power tool. This can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Hold the power tool firmly in both hands and position your body and arms so they can
absorb the force of a kickback. Always use the additional handle, if available, so that
you have the maximum possible control over the kickback force or reaction forces at full
speed. By taking adequate precautions, the operator can stay in control of the kickback
and reaction torques.
b) Never hold your hand close to a rotating accessory tool. The accessory tool could hit
your hand in the event of a kickback.
c) Avoid having any part of your body in the region in which the power tool is likely to
move in event of a kickback. The kickback will force the power tool in the opposite
direction to the direction of rotation of the grinding disc at the blockage.
d) Take special care when working near corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid allowing the
accessory tool to bounce back from the workpiece or jam. The rotating accessory tool is
more likely to jam in corners or sharp edges or if it rebounds off them. This can cause a loss
of control or kickback.
