Often, many even experienced users FORUMHOUSEWhen dealing with angle grinder hoping to "maybe". Thinking that much with them just did not happen, and therefore can be removed with a grinder protective cover and place a disc of larger diameter or work for angle grinders without protective goggles. All this can lead to tragic consequences. And experience shows that safety rules are written for a reason. And remember about them will help you to our forum users.

The real danger

According to our user with the nickname is online Blackkthe most dangerous tools on a construction site, include a chain saw, a circular saw, and angle grinders, commonly referred to as the Bulgarian.

Blackk (User FORUMHOUSE):

- You could say that the greatest number of injuries in construction is due to wrong handling instruments listed above, and especially the grinder, so I recommend when working with angle grinders stick the following rules:

• Under no circumstances, if you are working disks, do not remove the protective cover from the grinder and use discs of appropriate size.

Never use a grinder to saw blades for wood for circular saw, it is very dangerous, because they are not designed for such angular velocities!

• When working on the grinder, use canvas gloves and visor of Plexiglas that protects the entire face and neck.
• If the disc rotating felt strong beats, ie imbalance, this disc should be replaced.

The case of life, which would like to draw the attention of our users with the nickname new posts alisa. opened a thread in the forum"Safety when working with tools."

"In the Hospital, died guy from the team of builders. I took off grinder safety guard, set the disk of larger diameter. Flown apart pieces of the disc broke the blood vessels, nerve plexus neck. Injuries incompatible with life. "

So you should heed the advice of our forumchanin with the nickname of Buryatia.

- When removing the protective casing of the pieces will fly in a plane in which the disc rotates. And as the speed of the grinder - 7-9 thousand. revolutions per minute, it can be assumed that the rupture disk fragments represent a very serious threat.

Here are a few rules that must be followed when working with the grinder:

• When cutting keep the grinder side of himself - outside the plane of the dispersion of the fragments.

It is necessary to protect all close colleagues - ie at least remove them from the plane.

• Look around and to estimate prospective ricochet fragments of walls, ceiling, etc.

If the Bulgarian at right angles to the wall, then ricocheted fragments are in the same plane.

• Inspect the saw before starting circle.

If there is the slightest hint of the presence of defects (chips, cracks) - stop using it and replace it with another.

Also, when working with a grinder should be remembered that the greatest danger is the sheaf emitted sparks, which can ignite clothing or dry materials.

- With the grinder I work with the 90s, I tried different models and different methods of work. Who is doing so as soon as I buy a new grinder - just "I turn off her head", ie.. reducer flip 180 degrees. (By the way, not at all a trick roll, pay attention to it).

The fact that I am left-handed, and the left hand on the handle, and the right - to support and push the On button. and off. In this case, the sparks fly "away," and it is what I need. Why do I work this way?

• It is written in the instructions to my grinder.
• Predictable trajectory of the dispersion of fragments of itself.
• Abrasive dust and metal dust, flies away from the worker.

In a particularly awkward cases (in the cramped space, work above shoulder height, etc...), This dust - at the "eggs on" fly in the face. Here even the glasses are not saved.

• You see exactly where flying sparks trail. If sparks "assumed" that this is not possible.

When cutting any saw or grinder, you need to think about how behaves the workpiece when it is cut off completely - Cutting the seam should increase, not decrease, which leads to jamming of the cutting tool.
