A friend of mine still (40 years later) has a diagonal scar right across his face from eye to chin where a "Partner" (petrol angle grinder) that was fitted with a 12" circular saw disk kicked back into him. GRINDING MACHINE TOOLS: 6-teeth wood grinder disc provide smooth,angle grinder discs for wood, tree stump remover controlled grinding and polishing to maximise wood-cutting grinder discs grinding performance. I assume that's tongue in cheek as anyone seriouly asking most certainly shouldn't be allowed near one.

I genuinely don't know which tool it is designed to a be attached to, given that it has the angle grinder fitting, and is always marketed as being for an angle grinder. blah blah~" because they were asleep at the wheel and enough people got hurt that they had to do something.A very versatile tool but no matter how hard I try I cannot convince the instructor he needs to refit the guard to the grinder! A chain brake, it should stop the chain dead in its tracks when the brake is triggered by forward movement of the guard, usually done in most cutting positions by using the back of the hand that's holding the top part of the main handle, can also be triggered by sudden inertia such as kick back, if the chain brake doesn't function as intended then the saw must not be used until the problem is rectified.

Life's too short to waste time sharpening the things - after hacking-up five tons or so of logs/naily-scrap-wood/pallets a new chain in autumn is a sensible and satisfying investment. I think the chain was supposed to slip a bit on the disk to reduce the chance of kickback, but the whole idea frightened me! The serrated edge discs turn angle grinders in to small hand-held chainsaws, but the two products are not designed to be used together and are likely to cause loss of control which could result in serious injury or even fatality.The Office for Product Safety and Standards are also telling any business that sells these chainsaw discs as attachments for angle grinders to remove them from the market immediately as they do not comply with the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Reports have been received of injuries arising from kickback caused by the chainsaw gripping the cutting surface and forcing the angle grinder to sharply turn or jump out of the hand of the operator. Two chainsaw discs were reported as having serious risk of injury in the OPSS Product Safety Report (No 7 – 19 February 2021). When I bought my first chain saw, I also bought a sharpening kit which includes a file and a metal filing guide that fits over the chain for ensuring the teeth and the rakers are filed to their respective correct levels.
