5.7. Kickback.
5.7.1. Kickback is a sudden reaction to a
pinched or snagged rotating blade.
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling
of the rotating blade 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.
5.7.1. 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 machine
and position your body and arm to
allow you to resist kickback forces.
•
ALWAYS use both hands on the handle
bar 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 blade. The blade may
kickback over your hand.
•
DO NOT position your body in the area
where power tool will move if
kickback occurs. Kickback will propel
the tool in direction opposite to the
blades 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
blade and cause loss of control or
kickback.
