Only a fool uses an angle grinder without a guard and yesterday I was that
fool.
While I have several angle grinders, I need one more before I no longer
have to change the occasional disc from one type to another. The usual
dilemma is which grinder to change the disc on so that half an hour later
I=E2=80=99m not changing it back again. I=E2=80=99d had a fairly well used=
hard disc on
one grinder and had removed the guard to get into a tight spot while
working on the Sprite=E2=80=99s floor pan replacement. I was now replacing=
the
garage roof and needed a thin cutting disc to cut through some old J bolts
and other fixings and fitted a full-size brand-new thin cutting disc. It
wasn=E2=80=99t long before I cut through my glove and into my finger. The =
cut
isn=E2=80=99t very deep and I guess the gloves helped. Of course, I didn=
=E2=80=99t
immediately put the guard back on it and had to have a near miss before I
did. I realised at that point it might not have had the accident if I=E2=
=80=99d
used a smaller disc. So, I=E2=80=99m sharing my stupidity in the hope othe=
rs won=E2=80=99t
be the fool, albeit a =E2=80=98lucky=E2=80=99 fool that I was yesterday and=
use a angle
grinder without the guard.
