What is this? A circular saw blade is a sharp metal disc used on power tools. It is made to fit on a circular saw, not on an angle grinder.
What's happening? Some blades can be put on an angle grinder by mistake. This is not how they should be used.
Does this affect me? If you use power tools at home or work, you could be at risk of injury.
What should I do? Stop using the blade on an angle grinder. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel hurt.
