What is the danger
The circular saw blade is advertised as a saw blade for angle grinders. If the saw blade is mounted on an angle grinder, the angle grinder becomes a hand-held circular saw, which is not its intended use. Such use can result in backlashes and loss of control over the tool. This can result in injuries.
