electrical shock.  
Kickback and Related Warnings  
• Any power cord must be properly  
grounded. Ground Fault Circuit  
Interrupter (GFCI) should also be  
implemented – it prevents sustained  
electrical shock.  
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.  
23. WARNING: Some dust created by power  
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and  
other construction activities, contains  
chemicals known [to the State of  
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  
kick out. The wheel may either jump toward  
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.  
California] to cause cancer, birth defects  
or other reproductive harm. Some  
examples of these chemicals are:  
• Lead from lead-based paints  
• Crystalline silica from bricks and  
cement or other masonry products  
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically  
treated lumber  
Your risk from these exposures varies,  
depending on how often you do this type  
of work. To reduce your exposure to  
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated  
area, and work with approved safety  
equipment, such as those dust masks  
that are specially designed to filter out  
microscopic particles. (California Health  
& Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)  
Kickback is the result of power tool  
misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures  
or conditions and can be avoided by taking  
proper precautions as given below.  
1. Maintain a firm grip on the power  
tool and position your body and  
arm to allow you to resist kickback  
forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if  
provided, for maximum control over
