Keep children and bystanders away. Distractions can easily cause you to lose
control, so consider operating your power tools a solo venture. You'll catch up
with everyone later, when you've made progress with your project.
If you absolutely
must have children in the working area, ensure that they're
always closely supervised by another,
responsible
, adult, and do not interfere
with your work.
Familiarize yourself with your local general rules of occupational health and
safety. The sooner you do that, the sooner you can start using your angle
grinder.
Personal safety

Eye, ear, face, hand, and respiratory protection is a must
when operating
your angle grinder. Do not underestimate the power of personal safety
equipment.
Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewelry
when working with your angle
grinder, and make sure your hair cannot get stuck in the moving parts.
Do not take unnecessary risks by trying to reach areas that are obviously
too far away to reach safely. Keep proper footing and balance at all times -
it'll help you keep control in unexpected circumstances, whether it be the
angle grinder slipping out of your hands, or someone deciding it would be fun
to attempt to pull a jumpscare on you in your workshop.
Make sure to use and maintain the angle grinder correctly, and take enough
breaks during the work
to avoid health problems related to vibration in hands
and arms.
Common sense is the best protection, isn't it? Stay alert - watch what you're
doing, exercise common sense, and do not operate power tools when you're
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or strong medication.
