Kickback and corresponding safety instructions

Kickback is a sudden reaction caused when a rotating accessory tool, e.g. grinding disc,

grinding plate, wire brush, etc., catches or jams. Catching or jamming leads to an abrupt

stop of the rotating accessory tool. If this happens, an uncontrolled power tool turns rapidly

against the direction of rotation of the accessory tool caught in the blockage.

If, for example, a grinding disc catches or jams in a workpiece, the edge of the grinding

disc projecting into the workpiece can get caught and break o the grinding disc or cause

a kickback. The grinding disc can then y 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 given below.

a) Hold the power tool rmly in both hands and position your body and arms so they can

absorb the force of a kickback. Always use the additional handle, if available, so that

you have the maximum possible control over the kickback force or reaction forces at full

speed. By taking adequate precautions, the operator can stay in control of the kickback

and reaction torques.

b) Never hold your hand close to a rotating accessory tool. The accessory tool could hit

your hand in the event of a kickback.

c) Avoid having any part of your body in the region in which the power tool is likely to

move in event of a kickback. The kickback will force the power tool in the opposite

direction to the direction of rotation of the grinding disc at the blockage.

d) Take special care when working near corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid allowing the

accessory tool to bounce back from the workpiece or jam. The rotating accessory tool is

more likely to jam in corners or sharp edges or if it rebounds o them. This can cause a loss

of control or kickback.
