  Do not use tools or cutting tools that require coolant. The use of water or other 

liquid coolants may result in electrocution or electrical shock. 

Rollbacks and Related Warnings 

Kickback is a sudden reaction when a wheel, back cushion, brush, or other accessory 

binds or snags. Binding or snagging causes a rapid lockup of the disc which, in turn, 

causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the opposite direction of tool rotation. 
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect procedures or conditions. 

This can be avoided by taking the proper precautions. 

  Keep a firm grip on the power tool to allow it to resist kickback forces. Always use 

the auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque 

reaction during start-up. Torque reactions or kickback forces can be controlled by 

the operator if proper precautions are taken. 

  Never place your hand near the running tool, it could snap on your hand. 

  Do not position your body in the area where the power tool will move if kickback 

occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in the opposite direction of wheel motion at 

the point of contact. 

  Take special care when working around corners, sharp edges, etc. Prevent the 

accessory from bouncing and snagging. Corners, sharp edges, or kickback have 

a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback. 

Abrasive grinding and cutting operations 

  Use only the types of discs that are recommended for your power tool and the 

specific guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool 

was not designed cannot be adequately covered and are unsafe. 

  The cutting surface of depressed center abrasive wheels should be mounted 

below the plane of the guard cutting edge. An incorrectly mounted wheel that 

protrudes beyond the plane of the guard edge cannot be adequately protected. 

  The guard must be firmly attached to the power tool. 

  Discs should only be used for recommended applications. 

  Always use the correct accessories for the correct size and design of the discs. 

Disc flanges must be different from grinding wheel flanges. 

  Do not use worn wheels from larger power tools. The blade intended for a larger 

power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool. 

Abrasive cutting operations 

  Do not "jam" the disc or apply excessive pressure. Overloading the disc increases 

susceptibility to binding and the possibility of kickback or breakage. 

  Do not place the body near the cutting area of the disc. When the wheel locks up 

at the point of contact and in the event you stomp, that kickback will direct the 

tool toward your body. 

  When the blade jams for any reason, turn off the tool and hold it still until it comes 

to a complete stop. Never try to remove the cutting disc by turning the tool on 

again, otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to 

eliminate cause of stall. 

  Do not restart the cutting operation on the workpiece. Let the blade come up to 

full speed and carefully recut. The wheel can bind, ride up, or kick back if the 

power tool is restarted on the workpiece. 

  Use support panels or any large work piece to minimize the risk of tool pinching 

and kickback. Large workpieces tend to give way under their own weight.
