SAFETY INFORMATION
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given 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 line with the rotating wheel. Kickback will propel the tool in
direction opposite to the 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, segmented diamond wheel with a
peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
• Do not "jam" the wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an
excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to
twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
• When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the
power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete
stop. Never attempt to remove the wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion
otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the
cause of wheel binding.
• Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is
restarted in the workpiece.
• Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching
and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be
placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both
sides of the wheel.
• Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause
kickback.
