And on top of everything else, he's got the grinder (small) the wrong way around. It is running (kicking) towards him (and specifically towards his feet), which is clearly why he stopped cutting. DO NOT DO THIS!!!

Yep not safe at all, no guard on the big grinder. Gloves, eye protection, toe protection. Not a safety video.

Dude! You have no guard with the big boy grinder! Not safe! You didn't cut all the way through and it seems like your frightened of the little grinder. You mention wearing gloves but you didn't wear any when you did the demo with the small machine.....Not sure what safety standards govern the safe operation of tools in the UK but I know you have them. Us yanks refer to ANSI B7.1-2000 for safe operation of abrasives wheels (including superabrasives such as diamond which is what you are using in the video) familiarize yourself with them before giving advice to others!

I couldn't even finish the video. I didn't want to see the blood. From the tennis shoes to the worn cord, I was looking for something a little more safe...

Oh my goodness. This video demonstrates everything you SHOULD NOT do while operating this tool. Clearly he does not know what he's doing. The large blade is perfectly poised to cut off his hand. And he is about to cut into his foot with the smaller unit. See how the blade kicked when he hit the paver? Please don't try this at home!!

This is not a good video for how to use and angle grinder safely. The blade shouldn't be touched unless he tells us its not plugged in. the flex is badly wrapped around the spindle on the large grinder. the large grinder has no safety guard. if you use your foot to secure a workpiece you should wear work boots, not canvas running shoes. the small grinder should be fitted with a handle for safety. on the plus side he wears gloves and keeps the flex away from the piece and blade.

How to use an Angle Grinder Safely

Handymantips.co.uk I’d like to talk to you about one of my favorite tools, the angle grinder. This is a very versatile tool because you can use it to cut tiles, bricks, pavement slabs, and the host of other things, even wood if you got the right bit inside here. Now to change this blade is very easy. There’s a tool that is shaped like a fork. What you do is press the handle down, this handle to lock it. Push the tool in there, fork and you release that knot. And take this blade out. You can interchange these blades. Now this is the smaller version of the angle grinder and this is the bog boy. Now this can cut your normal pavement slabs and other bigger stones. More professional model as you can see much larger than the smaller sister. They also come with a handle which makes it easier to grab hold of when you’re using the machine in different angles. We’re going to use it on a slab and show you the effects of this particular tool. Always wear safety goggles for this and gloves. Okay? We’ll use the smaller machine because we got a small piece of slab here. Always keep the lid behind you with your foot in front of the flex. Switch on you lever. So there’s a demonstration of the versatility and the power of this particular tool here. There are many, many different uses for this. If you want a complete breakdown of this, go to website www.handymantips.co.uk or the sister website experttooltips.co.uk. Sign up for newsletter or logon to the ebooks store where you can find the complete listing of the many, many uses of the angle grinder. Okay.
