2.1.2 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 work piece, 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 can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

oNever place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over
your hand.
oDo 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.
oUse 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 rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
2.1.3 Residual risks
Even if you use this tool correctly, there are always residual risks. The following
hazards may arise in connection with the structure and manufacture of this
power tool:
-Hearing impairment if no suitable hearing protection is worn.
-Cuts if no suitable protective clothing is worn.
-Health damage resulting from vibration in the hands and arms if the device
is used for a long period of time or is not handled and maintained properly.
-Inhalation of particles
-Inhalation of exhaust gases
-Skin contact with oil / gasoline
-Inhalation of gasoline / oil vapors
-Contact with projected objects
-Burns when touching with hot surfaces
-Prolonged use of this product exposes the operator to vibration and can
produce so-called "white finger" disease. To reduce the risk, wear gloves
and keep your hands warm.
-If any of the symptoms of "white finger syndrome" occur, seek immediate
medical attention. Symptoms of the "white finger" include numbness, loss of
sensitivity, tingling, pain, loss of strength, color changes or skin condition.
These symptoms usually appear on the fingers, hands or wrists. Risk
increases at low temperatures.
