    Some notes on safety: 1) use a type 1 guard when using a cutting blade, 2) the tool should pull away from you when you cut (in case of kickback, you don't want the tool come straight back at you), 3) use a wet rated power tool when using water, 4) wear gloves and safety glasses, 5) wear a mask or respirator. Since this is just mortar, if you have a hammer and a chisel, you can have that chiseled out without a power tool.

      @@JimTom. Hey JimTom, you need a guard with a diamond blade. It's in my user manual for my angle cutter and all over the Google. And regarding gloves- if you have one hand on the screw-in handle, and one on the tool itself, properly fitted gloves shouldn't get anywhere near the blade and would protect skin from anything sharp that goes flying 😬

      @@FG-fn9fx Clearly you have no experience with grinders. Gloves are a big no no near spinning machines. Diamond blades wont cut your hand nor will they shatter like metal cutting discs. Youre clearly just a home DIYer trying to sound smart to a professional Tradesman. You shouldnt live you life by a textbook, get some real experience.

      You clearly have no experience. Using it one handed makes it easier to get a straight cut with reduces the chance of a kickback, every pro uses one hand for that reason. The water is not a problem

      The guard restricts access of the blade to the concrete to be cut...I would never do the this with a saw designed to cut wood...good way to lose a finger...with a blade designed to cut concrete risk of kick back is minimal...risk of injury is a mild abrasion, not the loss of a finger...

    It's amazing all of the "professionals" on here that are commenting on the removal of the guard, how he isn't holding the grinder correctly, how he's "dancing with death", etc. If you are that much of a professional why are you watching this "amateur" cut some brick and mortar? Every angle grinder I have doesn't have a guard, if you have enough experience using an angle grinder you would know that the guard is very limiting, and what he is doing with the grinder is not that dangerous. You can run a diamond blade on your hand and it will only burn you. C'mon people stop being such a bunch of sissies! LOL

    • @MAGAMAN

      What an idiotic argument. If you're dumb enough to remove the guard, it becomes a matter of WHEN you will get injured, not IF you get injured. People use these same arguments with Table saws and other wood working tools only to end up in the ER having their fingers sown back on after 30 years of working like this.
      There are a few instances where a guard needs to be removed, and this was not one of them. The way he is using the tool and the grip he had on it would almost ensure that he loses his thumb if the blade were to bind up and throw the tool back towards him.
