DRONCO Safety Basics - How to properly use an angle grinder?

[@nadkok]

Thank you for this video. Always when i use a angle grinder my BIGGEST fear is the disc breaking and flying in my face. Now i know how to prevent it

[@garthqueen]

Almost never happens in reality

[@nadkok]

@@garthqueen i once used a angle grinder disc as a "beginer" and i bended the disc while grinding and the disc broke and almost pierced my liver, and i almost smacked my head agains the wall on high speed. The disc missed my liver with a half inch and flew away. Its a act of god that i didnt get hurt then.

@@nadkok You sound very accident prone,and an "unlucky Barztad" 🤣

[@nadkok]

@@garthqueen dude im a bad luck magnet fr.

[@satorsator6558]

i think the the spark flying into your direction is correct thats why we have a protection in the grinder... it is the right way because if in case the blade will remove or flew away the direction of the blade will not come into you it will go in opposite direction ...

[@PMBikes-Garage]

Also if it kick it will the grinder will fly away.

[@yoshimiyashita2954]

I think so. But this clip did not explain us why spark fly away is better.

[@chanmyaeoo317]

I agree

Recently an angle grinder gave me a laceration on the stomach, nearly getting to the guts. My accident was caused by the grinder making contact with my shirt, as it wrapped it self around the wheel the grinder was brought in to me. I was stupid as I was switching the machine on with one hand whilst holding the work piece with the other, the grinder was right next to me on the table. I am finding there is no information about safety clothing when using angle Grinders. The general consensus being that if a grinder gets you it will do you regardless how armed up you are. I think clothed protection including gloves could really help in an accident.

Thanks for sharing this. I'll make sure to not make the mistake that you did. I hope you have healed up. All the best.

[@patricksmith4424]

@@SuzukiKid400 Thanks, yes all good now.

[@achannelhasnoname5182]

Yeah that's really important! Loose clothing and long hair are quite dangerous around all power tools.

[@patrickbyrnes118]

As an educator, should you be using a Type 27 guard with the Type 41/1 cutting wheels?

[@Hathathorne]

how often does it explode sending shrapnel everywhere? my fear of that keeps me from using it.

[@Nina-AbrasiveTools]

very professional. I am a cutting disc manufacturer in China, and I do cutting tests every day. Have time to communicate~~

[@untukmamapapa]

The fire go away from you, but the grinder go to you

[@marclaurencevillapando7545]

Thank you for this informative video. Cheers!

[@Alteriukas]

3:00 Once i changed angle grinder's guard and handle to that position, welding teacher asked "what cripple set up grinder like that?". Now i'm using it like 2:46...

[@WinnerPhillips]

This is a problem we must have to a right answer. Sparks away from the operator or sparks flying into your body direction, which is right? Who can answer?

[@carlosmariosuarez5319]

Sparks flying towards your side is safer if the grinder binds

[@Paul-IE-Repairs]

are we suppose to unplug the grinder, for safety?? i think they skipped that important step

[@fedai1196]

This is actually dumb tutorial. Sparks must fly to user direction otherwise one wrong cutting alignment angle grinder will jump into you. It is also hard to control angle grinder when sparks goes out of you. Having sparks in your side is a lot safer than getting angle grinder cuts in the body, or the single fail and disk even can explode . So don't be cry baby and don't scared of sparks, they are not extremely flammable, just use thick non-cotton clothing or safety wearings to prevent sparks from burning and that's all. And also don't remove the guard

[@Neil-t5g]

That's why they created guard.

[@sureshpatel6637]

"Safely First" "Work Next" 👍👍😀..

[@Therealphantomzero]

I came here because of the plunge cutting into the material. I've seen many people cut like this and was wondering why are they doing it that way. I've even been told that I've been grinding incorrectly. But from what I see I've been doing it right.

[@sribalajitourist4215]

Thanks a lot brother

[@tchakantc]

really useful video

[@erkinyldrm6579]

Well, I know where torque test channel got their intro now

[@TheX3ms]

SERIOUSLY, THE SPARK AWAY FROM OPERATOR?? ISN'T THAT HARDER TO CONTROL THE GRINDER???

[@calebsmith5247]

Yes and more dangerous

[@TheX3ms]
