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 power tool to be forced in the
direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation
at the point of the binding.
Kickback is the result of air tool misuse
and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
1. Maintain a steady grip on air tool and
position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Always
use auxiliary handle, if provided, for
maximum control over kickback or
torque reaction during start‑up. The
operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are
taken.
2. Never place your hand near the
rotating accessory. Accessory may
kickback over your hand.
3. Do not position your body in the area
where air tool will move if kickback
occurs. Kickback will propel the tool
