KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing 

pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the 

rotating accessory 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.
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 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 the area where power tool will move if kickback 

occurs. 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.
