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 air 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 workpiece, 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
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 air tool misuse
conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
Maintain a rm grip on the air tool and 1.
position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Always
use auxiliary handle, if provided, for
