Jamming or blockingleads toan abruptstopof
therotatingplugin-tool.This causesacceleration
ofany uncontrolledelectric tools rotatinginthe
oppositedirectiontothe plug-in-toolatthe point
ofblockage.
Iffor example agrinding wheel getsjammed or
blocked bythe workpiece, the edge ofthe
grinding wheel could get stuck and the grinding
wheel could breakfree or recoil, if
it should come
intocontact with the workpiece. Thegrinding
wheel movestoward oraway from the operator,
depending uponthe direction of rotationofthe
disk at the pointof blockage.
Grindingwheels couldalso bebrokenifthis
occurs.
Recoilis the result of incorrector wrong use of
the electric tool. Itcan be prevented by suitable
precautions, as described below.
a) Holdtheelectrictool securelyandmove

d)Work with particular care around corners,
sharp edges, etc. Ensure that the plug-intool
does notbounceofforjam intheworkpiece.
At corners, sharp edges orif
it bounces, the
rotating plug-intoolwilltendtojam. This will
