2. Blad spins away from you

Now you get the dust firing in to your leg, but grinder would now
'kick' away from you!.


I am guessing that the 2nd of these is the safest, but which is
correct?

I've always used mine this way. Seems the safest to me - though shortly
after getting my first grinder, when cutting some metal pipe, I nearly set
myself alight (a slight exageration I melted a hole in my fleece but it
could have been a lot worse) So now I'm always careful as to where the waste
flies.

Sparks from metal grinding are very dangerous - my father set his
workshop on fire and died in it. We reckon that he was grinding metal.
