Angle grinders, have quite a fierce 'kick' when they start. For the
first attempt hold the grinder, without a disk, firmly in both hands and
switch on to get a feel for the kick. Once you've understood this kick
and how quickly a disk can be spinning you'll be quite safe. Sensible
clothing is essential - no ties or other loose items. Gloves are a
personal choice - many people feel that they don't give enough grip, so
experiment and see what suits you.


The 9" one I bought from Lidl earlier this year - and was on offer again
recently - is soft start, so doesn't kick. For something like 20 quid.
4.5" ones aren't such a problem.
