Angle grinders are among the most dangerous electric tools in agricultural and industrial settings. There are more than 5,000 documented accidents annually related to using angle grinders. According to some recent statistics by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on injuries, there are two popular groups of users who often suffer from these accidents – the inexperienced people and the experienced ones who have been in this industry for 15-20 years.All workers must take great care when using any tool that is powered by electricity because accidents can occur. The worker should be in complete control of the machine at all times and remain alert to possible danger signs, such as power interruption or grinding from being too close to an object. Workers must also know how to use a guard correctly before cutting it off; otherwise, an injury may result from improper removal procedures. Conclusion As we have discovered, many angle grinder accidents are a result of the user not operating the tool correctly. To ensure that accidents are, as much as possible, avoided, there are several things you can do. Use PPE (personal protection equipment) Our off-the-shelf Dust Extractor and Industrial Vacuum products have a range of capabilities, with all suitable for the control of dust and waste collection from handheld systems, with options for use with larger walk-behind surface preparation machinery. Now that we know that safety guards can be repositioned, it is also important to know when you need to do this. Not only are these guards positionable for convenience but they can also be used to complement the kind of work you are doing.

With a lot of dust coming from the mortar or grout, it can be helpful to ensure that the room is well ventilated.

Dust guard (dust extraction guard) A few different types of angle grinder guard exists, so it is essential to know which one is right for your machine. 1.

You may want to start with a low, coarse grit to speed through the beginning of a task, and then switch to a high grit for a smoother finish. 2. Cut-off Discs There are many different types of injury that can occur as a result of angle grinder accidents. One of the most common are cuts or abrasions to the skin and in the most severe cases, amputation of a finger. Since an angle grinder is designed to cut through very tough materials, cutting through your bone and flesh will be like a hot knife through butter; ensuring correct safety precautions is therefore essential. Furthermore, you should only ever use blades and wheels that are intended for the tool you are using. Unplug The Tool When Changing Blade Or Adjusting The Safety Guard Adjustable side guard: This type of guard has a single top ring with two side rings, which allows you to adjust them for maximum comfort or protection for your hands during use. You may need this type if you have large hands or long fingers because there will be more space between the handle and the blade than in other models with no adjustable side guards.
