Hazard

The saw blade may be mounted on an angle grinder and may therefore, opposed to its advertised use, be used as a hand-held circular saw without the appropriate protections and protective devices. This could cause kickback or loss of control over the tool, resulting in injuries. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive and the European standard EN 60745-2-3.
