As your other woodworking tools, ride that line between respect and
fear and you'll do far less dumb things (like I seem to do almost
daily)
Like Me too!
I was replacing an old gatepost that had ben screwed to a brick wall. Some
of the screws were impossible to remove (rusted in) but I got the rotting
post off the wall and picked up the angle grider to hack off the
projecting screws. I had to remove the guard to get in close.
Next job, a while later, was taking some length off the "hardened
stainless steel" bar of a digital readout and I hadn't got round to
putting the guard back on. I now have a deep, slowly healing, gash in the
left edge of my left hand!
