Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of therotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolledpower tool to be forced in the direction opposite of theaccessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinchedby the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is enteringinto the pinch point can dig into the surface of the mate-rial causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheelmay either jump toward or away from the operator,depending on direction of the wheel’s movement at thepoint of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break underthese conditions.Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incor-rect operating procedures or conditions and can beavoided by taking proper precautions as given below.WARNING3 41 00 324 06 9.book Seite 17 Mittwoch, 29.
