Really bad video for safety!
1. No guard around the wheel and his gut only about an inch away.
2. No side handle being used, even though the machine was built with one.
3. No hearing protection, even though an angle grinder typically produces permanently damaging decibels for this task.
4. Sparks flying onto a cotton shirt - guess who burnt a hole in his cotton shirt a couple of months ago using a 9" grinder with a guard on it!

Cheers Charlie
