Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or sna-
gged rotating 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 wheel may either jump toward or
away from the operator, depending on direction of the
wheel's movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive
wheels may also break under these conditions. Kick-
back is the result of power tool misuse and/or incor-
rect 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 po­
sition 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 start­up. The operator
can control torque reactions or kickback forces,
if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating acces­
sory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where po­
wer tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback
will propel the tool in 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 saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING
AND ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended
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.

b) The grinding surface of centre depressed
wheels must be mounted below the plane of
the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel
that projects through the plane of theguard lip
cannot be adequately protected.
c) The guard must be securely attached to the po­
wer tool and positioned for maximum safety, so
the least amount of wheel is exposed towards
the operator. The guard helps to protect the
operator from broken wheel fragments, acci-
dental contact with wheel and sparks that could
ignite clothing.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the
side of cut­off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are
intended for peripheral grinding, side forces ap-
plied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are of correct size and shape for your selected
wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel
thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different
from grinding wheel flanges.
f) Do not use worn down wheels from larger po­
wer tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool
is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller
tool and may burst.
Electrical safety
When using electric machines always observe the
safety regulations applicable in your country to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal
injury. Read the following safety instructions.
Always check that the voltage of the power
supply corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate label.
Class II machine - Double insulation - You
don't need any earthed plug.
