Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel,sanding band, brush
or any other accessory. Pinchingorsnagging
causesrapid stallingofthe rotating accessory
which in turn causes the uncontrolledpower
tooltobeforced in the direction oppositeofthe
accessory’s rotation.
Forexample,ifanabrasive wheelissnagged
or pinchedbythe workpiece, the edgeofthe
wheel thatisentering into the pinch point can
dig into thesurface of thematerial causing the
wheeltoclimb outorkickout.Thewheelmay
eitherjumptoward or away from the operator,
dependingondirectionofthe wheel’smove-
mentatthe pointofpinching. Abrasive wheels
may also break under theseconditions.
Kickback is theresult of power tool misuse
and/or incorrect operating procedures or con-
ditions and canbeavoidedbytakingproper
precautionsasgiven below.
