Use an angle grinder only with its guard and face protection; never fit a toothed wood blade

The excuse
I can spend longer deciding whether to start than the small action would take.
What feels good now
Today I keep a little money, a few minutes, a bit of persistence and avoid interrupting my default routine.
What the source says

THE ENGLISH EDITION
Original recommendation and evidence
42. Use an angle grinder only with its guard and face protection; never fit a toothed wood blade
Cost: Eye and face protection costs a modest amount; checks and safe setup add a minute or two each use.
In plain terms: High-speed discs can shatter or kick back. Safety agencies recommend the correct guard and disc, eye and face protection, a stable two-handed grip, and using a saw for wood.
Applicability and limits: The evidence is safety guidance and incident reports, not a measured estimate of injuries prevented. The original source retains the equipment limits and incident references.

42. 装好护罩、戴上护目镜加面屏再用角磨机,双手握稳,别装木工锯片切木头
成本: 一副护目镜加一个面屏,几十元。每次开机前看一眼护罩和片子,换片前拔掉插头,多花一两分钟。难在嫌麻烦时也不拆护罩、不单手干活。
说人话: 角磨机转得极快,片子碎了会飞出来伤人,装上木工锯片还会突然反弹。国内两起事故都是装了锯片、没装护罩,一人割断大腿动脉,一人割破颈动脉,都没救回来。护罩、护目镜加面屏、双手握稳,这几样花不了几个钱。
收益: 加拿大职业健康与安全中心和澳大利亚昆士兰州的安全机构列的做法如下。开机前检查护罩和片子,有裂纹、缺口、变形的不用。片子上标的最高转速,不能低于机器上标的转速。片子的直径和中间的孔要和机器配套。换片前断开电源。要磨要切的东西先固定住。戴防护眼镜或护目镜,外面再加面屏。双手握住两个手柄,脚下站稳。切割片不能拿来打磨,那样片子更容易碎。片子完全停转之前不把机器放下。火花和碎屑朝向没人的地方,周围不放易燃的东西。昆士兰的通报说,切割片边缘的设计速度约为每秒 70 米。把 356 毫米的大片装到 230 毫米的机器上,边缘速度至少到每秒 120 米,片子容易碎。2016 年 2 月,当地一名工人用 230 毫米的角磨机时被碎片击中胸部,内伤死亡。国内有两份事故调查报告。2019 年哈尔滨一名工人把切割片换成带齿锯片,没装护罩就去切木板。锯片卷住裤子,割断大腿动脉,失血死亡。2024 年深圳福田一名工人用装着木工锯片、没装护罩和辅助手柄的角磨机切木门框。机器反弹,割破颈动脉死亡。报告引用的国家标准写着「不要附装上锯链、木雕刀片或带齿锯片」。韩国 2011 到 2018 年的急诊伤害监测里,被高速旋转的切割工具弄伤的有 8697 人次,其中 4603 人次在用砂轮机这一类工具。他们伤在手上的占 46.4%,伤在头部的占 23.0%。和其他同类工具比,砂轮机伤成重伤的可能高约一倍(OR 2.07,95% CI 1.88–2.29)。四川绵阳一家医院两年收治 36 名角磨机伤眼的住院病人。手术后戴上眼镜的最好视力仍低于 0.05 的有 10 人。土耳其一家医院一年的 742 例手和前臂急性外伤里,角磨机造成 82 例。除 8 例外都不是上班时伤的,44% 是退休的人。日本一家创伤中心 2017 到 2018 年的 15 名角磨机伤者里,9 人是装上锯片切木头这类错用。其中 2 人整根手指断掉,1 人断了一截(加拿大、澳大利亚 / 中国 / 韩国、土耳其、日本)

备注: 给 C 是因为这些做法来自安全机构的指南和事故调查,没有研究算过照做能少伤多少人。伤情数据只说明伤得多重,而且都是一家医院或一个国家的病例。收益量级定为中,凭的是判断:后果可以是死亡、失明、断指,但只落在用角磨机的人身上。哈尔滨那台机器的说明书本来就写着不要装带齿锯片、必须装护罩。那名工人手边就有手锯,切木头该用它这类木工工具。宽松衣服、垂下来的首饰和长头发都要收好,会被卷进去。磨的时候粉尘和噪声都大,口罩和耳塞的讲究见第 19 节第 10 条(防护用品单位必须给)。真割破了大血管,先死死压住伤口,见第 13 节第 12 条(大出血先用手死死压住伤口)。受益人主要是你自己,也护住站在旁边帮忙的家人。
