When using your angle grinder for grinding make sure it is fitted with a grinding disc and not a thin cutting disc . . . or be prepared to duck when it lets go.

Grinding wheels have a tendency to explode on occasion as well, best to be prepared always.

Can't be that serious you're still typing, or is it one handed now? :D

My brother almost lost his finger in similar circumstances with an angle grinder, managed to save it but not much use to him now, dangerous things them angle grinders.
