Kickback – causes and corresponding safety 
instructions

▯

Kickback is a sudden reaction caused when a 
rotating grinding disc catches or jams . Catching 
or jamming causes the rotating accessory tool 
to stop abruptly . If this happens, an uncontrolled 
power tool turns rapidly against the direction 
of rotation of the accessory tool caught in the 
blockage .

▯

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 they 
can absorb the force of a kickback. Always 
use the auxiliary handle, if available, so that 
you have the maximum possible control over 
the kickback force or reaction forces at full 
speed.

 By taking adequate precautions, the 

operator can stay in control of the kickback and 
reaction forces .

b)  

Never hold your hand close to a rotating 
accessory tool.

 The accessory tool can jump 

out of your hand if there is a kickback .

c)  

Avoid the area in front of and behind the 
rotating cutting disc.

 The kickback will force 

the electrical tool in the opposite direction to the 
direction of rotation of the grinding disc at the 
blockage .

d)  

Take special care when working near corners, 
sharp edges, etc. Avoid allowing the accessory 
tool to bounce back from the workpiece or 
jam.

 The rotating accessory tool is more likely to 

jam in corners or sharp edges or if it bounces . 
This can cause a loss of control or kickback .

e)  

Do not use chained or toothed cutting discs 
or segmented diamond discs with slots more 
than 10 mm wide

 . Such accessories often 

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

f)  

Avoid cutting disc jams or excessive contact 
pressure. Do not make any excessively deep 
cuts.

 Overloading the cutting disc increases the 

stress and likelihood of tilting or blocking and 
thus the possibility of a kickback or a breakage 
of the grinding tool .

g)  

If the cutting disc jams or you stop working, 
switch the tool off and hold it steady until the 
disc has completely stopped turning. Never 
attempt to pull a rotating cutting disc out of a 
cut. This could lead to kickback.

 Identify and 

remove the cause of the jam .

h)  

Do not switch the power tool back on as long 
as it is in the workpiece. Allow the cutting disc 
to reach its full speed before you carefully 
continue the cut.

 Otherwise, the disc may jam, 

jump out of the workpiece or cause kickback .

i)  

Support panels or large workpieces to re-
duce the risk of the cutting disc jamming and 
causing a kickback.

 Large workpieces can 

bend under their own weight . The workpiece 
must be supported on both sides, namely in the 
vicinity of the cut and also at the edge .
