Any businesses selling these products must remove them from the market immediately as they do not comply with the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Warwickshire County Council Trading Standards is urging Warwickshire residents, including workers in the construction industry, DIY enthusiasts and wood carvers and sculptors to stop using chainsaw. Chainsaw Discs that are marketed to be used on angle grinders could be considered interchangeable equipment under the 2008 Regulations and based on OPSS risk assessment are not able to meet the essential safety requirements when combined with an angle grinder. These products present a risk of serious injury or fatality from the disc slipping or producing kick back when in use.

Woodworking is your worldwide home for discussion of all things woodworking, carpentry, fine furniture, power tools, hand tools, and just about anything else about making - anything - from trees! The nice Safety Elf clearly stated that the chainsaw disk is not designed to be attached to an angle grinder. Or is Mr Elf just indulging in a little propaganda (also known also "a lie") to justify outlawing the tool? Zumal ich im Internet vorher eine dreiteilige "Kettensägenscheibe" gesehen habe und ungerne defekte Kettenteile als Geschoss abbekommen wollte.I wasn't aware of this 4" death-dealing device until I happened across this video while perusing my subscriptions. This alert follows reports of injuries arising from kickback caused by the chain gripping the cutting surface and forcing the angle grinder to sharply turn or jump out of the hand of the operator, leading to hand, finger, head injury or fatality. It spins up to full speed in a fraction of a second as long as the teeth are not in contact with the work, but it will stop dead if anything seizes, which is unlikely. I've used a circular-saw fitment on an angle-grinder, but would be a bit reluctant to use a 'chainsaw' type fitment.
