Summary
Product safety report for angle grinder chainsaw disc presenting a serious risk of injuries.
The risk
The product is marketed for use on an angle grinder, which converts the product into a hand-held circular saw. The relevant standard requires that instruction manuals for angle grinders specify that the product should not be
used with a chain or toothed saw blade, as this can cause a kickback or loss of control over the power tool. If a chain saw disc is used with a hand-held angle grinder, this presents a serious risk of injuries.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
Action taken
Listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon). Users are recommended to stop using the product immediately.
