1.3 Setback and corresponding safety instructions
Setback is the sudden reaction resulting from a hooked or jammed rotating insert tool. Hooking or jamming causes an abrupt stop of the
rotating insert tool. This causes an uncontrolled power tool to accelerate against the direction of rotation of the insert tool at the jamming
point. For example, if a grinding wheel hooks or jams in the workpiece, the edge of the grinding wheel that plunges into the workpiece
may become caught, causing the grinding wheel to break away or kick back. The grinding wheel then moves towards or away from the
operator, depending on the direction of rotation of the wheel at the jamming point. Grinding wheels can also break during this process.
Kickback is the result of incorrect or faulty use of the power tool. It can be prevented by taking appropriate precautions as described
below.
- Hold the power tool firmly and put your body and arms in a position where you can absorb the recoil forces. Always use the auxiliary
handle, if available, to have the greatest possible control over recoil forces or reaction moments during run-up. The operator can
control the recoil and reaction forces by taking appropriate precautions.
- Never bring your hand close to rotating insert tools. The insert tool may move over your hand during recoil.
- Avoid the area with your body where the power tool will move during a kickback. The kickback drives the power tool in the direction
opposite to the movement of the grinding wheel at the jamming point.
- Be especially careful when working around corners, sharp edges, etc. Prevent insert tools from bouncing off the workpiece and
jamming. The rotating insert tool tends to jam at corners, sharp edges or when it bounces off. This causes a loss of control or kickback.
- Do not use a chain or toothed saw blade. Such insert tools often cause kickback or loss of control of the power tool.
1.4 Special safety instructions for sticking
- Do not work on surfaces with exposed steel reinforcements. Danger of kickback!
- Take special care when machining corners, edges and extreme transitions. Damage to the milling head or the milling wheels is
possible.
- Only operate the power tool when the milling wheels can rotate freely.
- Only use original Wibec "Xposer milling discs".
