• Kickback is a sudden
re
action to a pinched or snagged rotating whee
l,
backing pad, brush orany
ot
her accessory. Pinching or snagg
in
g causes rapid sta
ll
ing
of
the rotat
in
g accessory which in turn
causes
th
e uncontro
lle
d power tool to be forced in the direction opposite
of
the accessory's rotation
at
the point
of
the bindin
g.
• Forexample, 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 d
ig
into the sur
fa
ce
of
the material causing the wheel to climb
out
or
kick
out.
The wheelmayeitherjump toward or nway from the operator,depending on direction
of
the wheel's movement at the point
of
pinching Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions.
