Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or attaching a rotating wheel, a bearing
pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or hanging causes rapid stalling of the
rotating accessory which in turn forced the tool Power out of control in the opposite
direction of rotation of the accessory to the point of seizing.
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 jumps or expulsion of the grinding wheel. The wheel can jump
towards the operator or by moving away, as the direction of movement of the
grinding wheel at the point of pinch. Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions. Kickback is the result of misuse of the tool and / or procedures or
conditions incorrect operation and can be avoided by taking proper precautions
specified below.
a) Maintain firmly the power tool and position your body and arm for you allow
to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, where applicable, for
maximum control of kickback or torque reaction during startup. The operator

perform a bounce on your hand.
