haha never really looked into this section. here is what happened to me

i was using my grinder to cut out/grind an area down, i had my forearm resting on my thigh while i was huntched over in the cab of my gutted s-10, it was hot and i sweating my butt off. My forearm slipped and the grinder got binded up and KABOOOM (billy maze style) and pieces went every where i bailed out the truck and thought crap i just got lucky..(yes i safety glass' on)...till i went to go wipe the sweat off my elbow and noticed i was bleeding, and felt something ruff so i had my wife take a look and had a piece about 1/2" maybe a little smaller driven into my arm just above the elbow......so now everytime i hear a grinder fire up i act all shell shocked

what did i learn from this: don't work when it is hot out

l8r......
