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.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged
or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the
wheel that is entering into the pinch point can
dig into the surface of the material causing
the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel
may either jump toward or away from the
operator, depending on direction of the wheel's
movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive
wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse
and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and canbe avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
a) 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,
if provided, 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.
b) Never place your hand near the
rotating accessory. Accessory may
kickback over your hand.
c) 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.
d) 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
Cordless Mini Cutter
rotating accessory and cause loss of
control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain
woodcarving blade or toothed saw
blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
GRINDING AND
CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding
and Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
a) Use only wheel types 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 guarded and are unsafe.
b) The grinding surface of centre
depressed wheels must be mounted
below the plane of the guard lip. An
improperly mounted wheel that projects
through the plane of the guard lip cannot
be adequately protected.
c) The guard must be securely
attached to the power tool and
positioned for maximum safety,
so the least amount of wheel is
exposed towards the operator. The
guard helps to protect the operator from
broken wheel fragments, accidental
contact with wheel and sparks that could
ignite clothing.
d) Wheels must be used only for
recommended applications. For
example: do not grind with the
side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-
off wheels are intended for peripheral
grinding, side forces applied to these
wheels may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel
flanges that are of correct size and
shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel
thus reducing the possibility of wheel
breakage. flanges for cut-off wheels may
be different from grinding wheel flanges.
f) Do not use worn down wheels from
larger power tools. Wheel intended for
larger power tool is not suitable for the higher
speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
