"You take and cut (grind), what is there to be able to do?" "Experienced" specialists who hold angle grinders once a year can declare. They do not even suspect that there are certain rules written by more than one scattered disk. Many years ago I began to master the wisdom of working with a grinder. It looks like a simple tool, but rather dangerous if used incorrectly.
All of the information below is based on personal experience. The information from my experienced mentor (welder), with whom I worked in tandem for a long time, was taken as a basis.
If you are a beginner specialist and want to master angle grinder, but are still afraid. That article will help you understand where the danger awaits you.
And if you have experience with a turbine, a mountain and a whole cart. Then complete the article in the comments. I will be grateful.
Rules for working with angle grinders (grinder)
Afraid sound of work and sparks from under the disk? Do not take it, entrust the work to more experienced comrades. Fear does not allow us to adequately assess the danger in metal processing.
Try not to direct sparks on yourself the rotation of the disc should be such that when it is bitten by the processed parts, the grinder moves away from the body.
Anticipate the disc clamp especially when the workpieces are cut by weight. Otherwise, the disc will fly apart.
Lying and do not use the old disk. It used to be that they gave out discs from the warehouse, and they were lying in the water, or completely from the last century. They scattered notably.
Put on your face shield to protect the face. At the very least, you must have glasses. No glasses and no visor? It means that you cannot work with angle grinders, no matter how you would like. Will you squint? Noooo. It is forbidden.
Stand on the cutting line less often, if possible. This rule will allow you not to catch the scattered disc with your face and body.
Wear tight clothes, it will protect against sparks and possibly from disc fragments
Do not remove the protective cover, under no circumstances. The only justification for such an action is self-liquidation.
Don't put the disc on the wood with many teeth on the "shaitan" machine. NEVER. The many teeth of the disc on the wood digs well into the wood. At the same time, the grinder breaks out and, no matter how firmly you hold it, it will turn around and open the rich inner world of the operator.
And one last tip: Overconfidence is your worst enemy. Therefore, when performing complex work with rolled metal, there should always be a helper, in which case he will provide first aid and call for help.. Well, or finish it off, joke)
