    What is an angle grinder?
    Angle grinders, also called side or disc grinders, are a handheld power tool used for cutting, grinding and polishing. Angle
    grinders are used for metalwork and fabrication such as grinding down welds. It can be dangerous due to the high rpm
    involved and the sparks and bits of metal that fly off as they cut.
    s

    Grinding discs and wheels are common on many worksites.


    Some of the risks posed by these tools include:
    • Eye injuries from spent fragments
    • Burst disks
    • Injuries from coming into contact with a wheel
    • Entanglement
    • Dust
    • Noise exposure
    • Kickback

    Hazards to watch for:


    • Most angle grinder injuries are from metal particles
    lodging in the operator’s eye.
    • Kickback, where the disc is thrust away from the object
    it is grinding, can result in severe cuts to hands, arms,
    head, torso, and legs.
    • Discs can shatter or explode, sending pieces flying
    across the work area.

    Safe Procedures to follow:


    • Wear wide vision goggles, or safety glasses, and a face shield.
    s
    • Always use the correct type of disc. Make sure the disc speed limit (rpm) is greater than the angle grinder operating
    speed.
    • Ensure the correct flange and locking nut is used for the type of disc. Otherwise, the disc can shatter at high speed.
    • Ensure the disc is not defective or damaged.
    • When not in use, disconnect the power and place the grinder on a bench with the disc facing upwards.
    • Dispose of any disc that has been dropped. Cracked or weakened discs can shatter in use.
