What is this? A metal saw blade made by iNGCO. It is meant to be used on a fixed machine, not on a hand-held grinder.

What's happening? The blade can be put on a hand grinder. This is not how it was designed. Without the right safety parts, the grinder can jerk or spin out of control.

Does this affect me? If you use this blade on a hand grinder in Cyprus, you could get hurt.

What should I do? Stop using it this way. Ask a hardware expert or your local store for the right safety gear. Talk to a doctor if you get hurt.
