Horses for coarse's and a saw blade aint made to go in a grinder, I have had kick backs with angle grinders and that was using the proper discs!! But I have been in control of the machine and always respected it..
How can you see what your doing?When I use grinders I grip them so tight my arse cheeks clench.
Using angle grinders can be a very risky endeavour if you don't use the right equipment - If I'm being honest you get what you pay for, the more expensive angle grinders are normally much safer such as: http://www.screwfix.com/p/makita-dga452z-4-angle-grinder-18v-bare/89836 or http://tools.jcb.com/Home/Products/Power-Tools/Grinders/JCB-720W-Angle-Grinder.aspx
How much should you pay for a premium cordless lith-ion grinder?£130 for a grinder is ridiculous though.
