Question
  • Describe in detail a problem that arises when using a right-angle side grinder to grind aluminum or brass.
Expert Solution
Step 1

The most dangerous and common accidents that users come across in working sites while using angle grinders are as follows:

  1. High operative speed, unguarded and outsized discs on angle grinders can increase the possibilities for disc bursting and the broken fragments can cause the injury to the user or worker and anyone near them.
  2. While grinding, angle grinders can recoil when it jams on the material and may accidentally hit and injure the worker.
  3. Sparks are produced in large amount when angle grinders are used, which may cause fire hazard if any flammable material is around the working environment.
