Kickback and related warnings

a) Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged cutting disc. Pinching
or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the
uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the opposite direction of the wheels rotation
b) 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 kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator
can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken. Never
place your hand near the cutting disc. The wall chaser may kickback over your hand
c) Do not position your body in the area where the power tool will
move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in the direction
opposite to the wheel's movement at the point of snagging
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid bouncing
and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency
to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback
e) Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an
excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to
twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage
f) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power
tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion, otherwise kickback
may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding
g) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel
reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk
up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece
