SAFETY RULES FOR THE ANGLE GRINDER REDUCING KICKBACK Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating grinding wheel or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinch- ing.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION DOUBLE-INSULATED TOOLS The tool’s electrical system is double insulated where two systems of insulation are provided. This eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded, nor should a means for grounding be added to the product. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.
