the out-of-control instrument in the direc-
tion opposite to rotating of the tool at the
jamming point.
For instance: if the grinding disk gets gripped
or jammed in the workpiece, the edge of
the disk that comes into the gripping point,
may penetrate into the material surface and
cause that the disk is pushed back upwards
or thrown off. The disk may either spring out
towards the user, or from the user, depend-
ing on the direction of the disk motion at
the jamming point. In these cases grinding
disks may also crack.
Kickback is result of incorrect use of the
electromechanical instrument and/or me-
chanical tool and/or improper working pro-
cedures or conditions, any can be avoided
by correct adhering to the below described
safety precautions.
a) Hold the tool fi rm and keep the cor-
rect position of your body and arm,
so that you were able to resist the
kickback forces. Always use second-
ary handle, if provided with the in-
strument, for maximum control over
the kickback or reaction torque at
the time of activation. User is able to
control the reaction torques and kickback
forces, provided that he/she follows rel-
evant safety precautions.
b) Never move your hand close to the
rotating instrument. By kickback, the
instrument may fl ing your hand away.
c) Do not stand in the space where the
instrument may get into in case of
kickback. Kickback fl ings the instrument
away in the direction opposite to the disk
motion at the jamming point.
d) Pay special attention to machining
the edges, sharp angles, etc. Avoid
skipping and jamming of the instru-
ment. Angles, sharp edges or skipping
may jam the rotating instrument, thus
causing loss of control over the instru-
ment, or kickback.
e) Do not attach chain graving disk or
circular-saw blade with gear to the
instrument. These disks often cause
kickback and loss of control.
5.4 Supplementary safety
instructions for grinding
and cutting
Safety instructions specifi c for grind-
ing and abrasive cutting activities
a) Use those types of disks only which
are recommended by the manufac-
turer, and specifi c protective guard
designed for selected disk. Those disks
which the electromechanical instrument
was not designed for, cannot be covered
properly and are dangerous.
b) Protective guard must be safely fi xed
to the electromechanical tool and
placed in correct position to achieve
maximum safety, so that only as
small part of the disk as possible was
uncovered, in the direction towards
the user. Protective guard helps to pro-
tect the user against fragments of the disk
and accidental contact with the disk.
c) Disks must be only used in recom-
mended applications, for instance:
do not grind using the lateral face of
the cutting disk. Abrasive cutting disks
are designed for peripheral cutting, side
forces acting on these disks may frac-
tionalize them.
d) Always use undamaged disk fl anges
of correct size and shape for the disk
you selected. Correct disk fl anges sup-
port the disk and thus reduce the risk of
disk cracking. Flanges for cutting may
differ from the fl anges after grinding.
e) Do not use worm disks of originally
bigger dimensions for bigger elec-
tromechanical tools. Disks designed
for bigger electromechanical instruments
are not suitable for higher rpm of smaller
tools and may crack.
5.5 Additional safety instructions
for surface grinding
Safety warnings specifi c for surface
grinding activities
a) Do not use excessively big abrasive
paper for abrasive disc. In selection of
abrasive paper adhere to the recom-
mendation of the manufacturer. Large
abrasive paper, overlapping the abrasive
board, represents a risk of rip and may cause
jamming, ripping of the disk and kickback.
