5.2

Kickback and related warnings:

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
sanding wheel, backing pad, brush or any other
accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling
of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the
uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction
opposite of the accessory's rotation at the point of the
binding.
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 abrasive wheel may either jump toward or away
from the operator, depending on direction of the disc'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 if suitable precautionary measures are taken as
described below.
• Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm 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 reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
• Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
• Do not position your body in the area where the
power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback
will propel the tool in direction opposite to the
grinding wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
• 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.
• Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
