Well,

We all know how dangerous the angle grinders are, but its easy to forget.
Don't.

Today i  was using my 4 1/2 incher with a thin cutting blade to cut some
sheet metal and it was going well.  I was holding it with one hand out at
full extension when it suddenly caught in the sheet metal and lept 3 feet
through the air onto my leg where it cut through my pants and danced briefly
but efficiently with my thigh.  All, naturally,  in a split second.

I'm wiser than I was, and have dodged another bullet.

Be safe,   Jeff Valentine
