Got an American Dewalt grinder with an underside paddle switch - I really like it, much more than the switch on forget side switches we usually have.Because I’m a boatist I get sent the MCA dangerous occourances / learning email things. Must have signed up to it some how.
anyway, was thinking about putting one up last week about grinders but decided against it as their gore threshold is higher than the forums. Basically some **** had put a circular saw blade on a grinder which was not an approved mod by his company. He had then somehow picked the grinder up by the blade and turned it on cutting off several fingers.
Apart from the fact this tard had probably bred prior to this, the other unfortunate point was the company were ‘advised’ strongly to replace all the grinders with paddle switch ones. So these may look to become the norm now. I have one on my Milwaukee battery grinder and I hated it at first but it’s actually good once you’re used to it.
