i think the the spark flying into your direction is correct thats why we have a protection in the grinder... it is the right way because if in case the blade will remove or flew away the direction of the blade will not come into you it will go in opposite direction ...
@@garthqueen i once used a angle grinder disc as a "beginer" and i bended the disc while grinding and the disc broke and almost pierced my liver, and i almost smacked my head agains the wall on high speed. The disc missed my liver with a half inch and flew away. Its a act of god that i didnt get hurt then.
Recently an angle grinder gave me a laceration on the stomach, nearly getting to the guts. My accident was caused by the grinder making contact with my shirt, as it wrapped it self around the wheel the grinder was brought in to me. I was stupid as I was switching the machine on with one hand whilst holding the work piece with the other, the grinder was right next to me on the table. I am finding there is no information about safety clothing when using angle Grinders. The general consensus being that if a grinder gets you it will do you regardless how armed up you are. I think clothed protection including gloves could really help in an accident.
3:00 Once i changed angle grinder's guard and handle to that position, welding teacher asked "what cripple set up grinder like that?". Now i'm using it like 2:46...
This is a problem we must have to a right answer. Sparks away from the operator or sparks flying into your body direction, which is right? Who can answer?
This is actually dumb tutorial. Sparks must fly to user direction otherwise one wrong cutting alignment angle grinder will jump into you. It is also hard to control angle grinder when sparks goes out of you. Having sparks in your side is a lot safer than getting angle grinder cuts in the body, or the single fail and disk even can explode . So don't be cry baby and don't scared of sparks, they are not extremely flammable, just use thick non-cotton clothing or safety wearings to prevent sparks from burning and that's all. And also don't remove the guard
I came here because of the plunge cutting into the material. I've seen many people cut like this and was wondering why are they doing it that way. I've even been told that I've been grinding incorrectly. But from what I see I've been doing it right.
yes, i agree sparks away from the operator.Other videos show safety tips for cutting metal using an angle grinder but sparks are all over their hand and body.
