If this happens, an uncontrolled compressed
air tool turns rapidly against the direction of
rotation of the accessory tool caught in the
blockage.
■
If, for example, a grinding disc catches or jams
in a workpiece, the edge of the grinding disc
that is projecting into the workpiece can get
caught and break off the grinding disc or cause
a kickback. The grinding disc can then fly in
the direction of the operator or away from him,
depending on the direction of rotation of the
disc at the blockage.
This can also break grinding discs.
■
A kickback is caused by incorrect use or misuse
of the compressed air tool. This can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below.
a)
Hold the compressed air tool firmly
in both hands and position your body and
arms so they can absorb the force of a
kickback. Always use the auxiliary handle,
if available, so you have maximum control
over the kickback force or reaction torques
at full speed. By taking adequate precau-
tions, the operator can stay in control of the
kickback and reaction torques.
b)
Never hold your hand close to rotat-
ing accessory tools. The accessory tool
could move across your hand in the event
of a kickback.
c)
Keep all parts of your body outside
the region in which the compressed air tool
is likely to move in event of a kickback. The
kickback will force the compressed air tool
in the opposite direction to the direction of
rotation of the grinding disc at the block-
age.
d)
Take special care when working
around corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid
allowing the accessory tool to bounce back
from the workpiece, or jam. The rotating ac-
cessory tool is more likely to jam in corners
or sharp edges or if it bounces. This can
cause a loss of control or kickback.
e)
Do not use chains or toothed saw
blades. Such accessories often cause a kick-
back or loss of control over the power tool.
