Kickback And Body Posture - Pecol RB2600PROHP-230 Manual De Instrucciones

3.5. Kickback and body posture

The kickback is a violent reaction of the power tool in an anti-movement direction,
created by the torque and inertia of the rotating parts.
How to reduce it and protect yourself
• Always use the auxiliary handle.
• When operating and during the
roughing operation, the angle grinder
tends to create the kickback. Hold
it firmly and position your arm and
body, keeping your legs slightly open
and firm to the floor.
• The kickback occurs in the opposite
direction of rotation and from the
point of contact of the disc with the
material.
• In case of possible blockage of the
moving parts, there will be an intense
kickback, which could break the disc
or hurt the user. To avoid this, do not
connect the grinder with the disc blocked, and avoid operations that over-force the
machine.
• The more resistance you put to the machine's rotation, the more intense the kickback
will be.
• Special attention when working on corners or sharp edges, which tend to cause a
stronger kickback.
