On "Ambulance Code Red" (Channel 5) this week, one of the
incidents was a guy who had apparently been trimming guttering
with what appeared to be a circular saw blade mounted on an angle
grinder.

This from 2009:

(Metro) "Alastair Green suffered horrific injuries as he tried to use an
angle grinder to remove a tree stump in the garden of his home in Market
Harborough, Leicestershire"

He'd fitted a circulaw saw to it. It killed him, apparently after a
kickback.


In my experience of using Stihl saws and circular cutters, the problem
is drag. Anyone using a forward, including upward, cutting motion
invites runaway.

As shown on tv, one young lad, with face protection, using a hand
grinder with 6in blade, demonstrated an upward cut that got away, ran up
the wall, back along an upper edge and back down his face.
