If, for example, a grinding disc catches or jams, 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 improper or incorrect use of the power tool. This
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as described below.

Hold the power tool firmly in both hands and position your body
and arms so they can absorb the force of a kickback. By taking
adequate precautions, the operator can stay in control of the kickback forces.
Take special care when working on corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid
allowing the accessory tool to bounce back from the workpiece or
jam in the workpiece. The rotating accessory tool is more likely to jam in corners
or sharp edges or if it rebounds off them. This can cause a loss of control or kickback.
Do not use toothed saw blades. Such accessories often cause a kickback or
loss of control over the power tool.
Always move the accessory tool in the same direction in the material
in which the cutting edge leaves the material (in other words, the
same direction in which the dust is thrown out). Guiding the power tool
in the wrong direction will cause the cutting edge of the accessory tool to jump out of
the workpiece which can lead to the accessory tool being pulled in this direction.
Always clamp the workpiece when using rotary files, cutting discs,
high-speed milling tools or hard-metal tools. Even a minimal tilting in the
groove can cause these tools to jam and lead to a kickback. When a cutting disc
jams, it usually breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed milling tool or hard-metal
milling tool jams, the accessory tool can jump out of the groove and lead to loss of
control of the power tool.
