What is this? A 125 mm circular saw blade sold for an angle grinder. It is meant for cutting metal, not for cutting wood.

What's happening? The blade can be put on an angle grinder and used like a small circular saw. This is not how it should be used. It can kick back or slip, causing injuries.

Does this affect me? If you own or use this blade in Germany, you could be at risk of injury.

What should I do? Stop using it right away. Ask a pharmacist or doctor if you have been hurt. Return the blade to where you bought it.
