What is the hazard with Heimerdinger Angle Grinder LB183 sold via Amazon (2608-0119)?
Heimerdinger Angle Grinder LB183 sold via Amazon (2608-0119) (Heimerdinger) was announced earlier this year, in the "Machinery - Angle Grinders (Powered)" category. The product presents a serious risk of injuries as it is supplied with a toothed saw blade attachment. These attachments increase the risk of kick back and loss of control of the angle grinder when in use, which could lead to serious injury or fatality. Kick back is caused when the blade snags or strikes an object during operation causing the tool to be suddenly forced backwards towards the operator. OPSS has published a Product Safety Alert for Angle Grinder Toothed Saw Blade Attachments which can be accessed at: https://www.gov.uk/product-safety-alerts-reports-recalls/product-safety-alert-angle-grinder-toothed-saw-blade-attachments-psa5 The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
