Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is the sudden response to an accessory
pinching or jamming while rotating. Pinching or jam-
ming causes the rotating accessory to stop abruptly,
which in turn forces the uncontrolled power tool in
the direction against the accessory's rotation at the
point of jamming. Kickback is the result of power
tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures
or conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions. It can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below.
Maintain a firm grip on the power
a)
tool and position your body and arm
to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Always use the auxiliary handle for
maximum control over kickback or
torque reaction during start-up. The opera-
tor can control torque reactions or kickback forces,
if proper precautions are taken.
Never place your hand near the rotating
b)
accessory. The accessory may kickback over
your hand.
Do not allow your body to enter the
c)
area where the power tool would move
if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the
power tool in the opposite direction of the acces-
sory's movement at the point of jamming.
Use special care when working around
d)
corners, sharp edges etc. You must
prevent accessories from bouncing off
the power tool and becoming jammed.
A rotating accessory tends to jam around corners
and sharp edges and also if bouncing occurs, thus
causing loss of control or kickback.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
e)
blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Special safety instructions
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding
with Diamond Cup Wheels:
Use only wheel types that are recom-
a)
mended 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.
The safety guard must be securely at-
b)
tached to the power tool. Always direct
the power tool so that the wheel is not
openly exposed to the operator. The
guard helps to protect the operator from broken
fragments, accidental contact with the wheel and
sparks that could ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for recom-
c)
mended applications.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges
d)
that are the correct size and shape for
your selected accessories. The correct flang-
es support the accessories.
