Kickback and corresponding safety 
 instructions

Kickback is a sudden reaction caused when a ro-
tating attachment part, e.g. grinding disc, abrasive 
band, wire brush, etc. catches or jams. Catching 
or jamming leads to an abrupt stop of the rotating 
attachment part. If this happens, an uncontrolled 
power tool will turn rapidly against the direction of 
rotation of the attachment part.
If, for example, a grinding disc catches or jams, the 
edge of the grinding disc that is projecting into the 
workpiece can get caught and break off the grinding 
disc or cause a kickback. The grinding disc can then 
fly 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 described below.
a)  

Hold the power tool firmly in both hands 
and position your body and arms, so that 
they can absorb the kickback forces. 

By 

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

b)  

Take special care when working around 
corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid allowing 
the attachment part to bounce back from 
the workpiece or jam in the workpiece. 

The 

rotating attachment part is more likely to jam 
on corners or sharp edges or if it bounces back 
from them. This can cause a loss of control or 
kickback.

c)  

Do not use toothed saw blades. 

Such attach-

ment parts often cause a kickback or loss of 
control over the power tool.

d)  

Always move the attachment part in the 
material in the same direction as the direc-
tion in which the cutting edge leaves the 
material (in other words, the same direc-
tion in which the chips are thrown out). 

Guiding the power tool in the wrong direction 
will cause the cutting edge of the attachment 
part to jump out of the workpiece, which can 
lead to the attachment part being pulled in this 
direction.

Supplementary safety instructions 
for grinding

Special safety instructions for grinding

a)  

Use only the grinding accessories approved 
for your power tool and only for the recom-
mended applications. Example: Never grind 
with the side surface of a cutting disc. 

Cutting 

discs are designed to remove material with the 
edge of the disc. Any lateral application of 
force on these grinding tools can lead to break-
age.

b)  

Use only undamaged mandrels of the correct 
size and length and without undercut on the 
shoulder for conical and straight pencil grind-
ers. 

Using an appropriate mandrel reduces the 

risk of breakages.
