Kickback and corresponding safety instructions
Kickback is a sudden reaction caused when a ro-
tating attachment part, e.g. grinding disc, abrasive
band, wire brush, etc. catches or jams. Catching
or jamming leads to an abrupt stop of the rotating
attachment part. If this happens, an uncontrolled
power tool will turn rapidly against the direction of
rotation of the attachment part.
If, for example, a grinding disc catches or jams, the
edge of the grinding disc that is 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 described below.
a) Hold the power tool firmly in both hands
and position your body and arms, so that
they can absorb the kickback forces. By
taking adequate precautions, the operator can
stay in control of the kickback forces.
b) Take special care when working around
corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid allowing
the attachment part to bounce back from
the workpiece or jam in the workpiece. The
rotating attachment part is more likely to jam
on corners or sharp edges or if it bounces back
from them. This can cause a loss of control or
kickback.
c) Do not use toothed saw blades. Such attach-
ment parts often cause a kickback or loss of
control over the power tool.

d) Always move the attachment part in the
material in the same direction as the direc-
tion in which the cutting edge leaves the
material (in other words, the same direc-
tion in which the chips are thrown out).
Guiding the power tool in the wrong direction
will cause the cutting edge of the attachment
part to jump out of the workpiece, which can
lead to the attachment part being pulled in this
direction.
e) Always fix the workpiece when using rotary
files, high-speed milling tools or hard-metal
tools. Even a slight tilting in the groove can
cause these attachment parts to jam and lead
to a kickback. When a rotary file, high-speed
milling tool or hard-metal milling tool jams,
the accessory tool can jump out of the groove
and lead to loss of control of the power tool.
Supplementary safety instructions
for grinding
Special safety instructions for grinding:
a) Use only the grinding accessories approved
for your power tool and only for the recom-
mended applications. Example: Never grind
with the side surface of a cutting disc. Cutting
discs are designed to remove material with the
edge of the disc. Any lateral application of
force on these grinding tools can lead to break-
age.
b) Use only undamaged mandrels of the correct
size and length and without undercut on the
shoulder for conical and straight pencil grind-
ers. Using an appropriate mandrel reduces the
risk of breakages.
