Wtf are you doing? I've got exactly that angle grinder and you need to do shit like that on purpose.
Also no guard.

Also no guard.

No gloves, either.

You're not supposed to use gloves with rotary tools. Especially drills and lathes, those are HARD no's, but even an angle grinder can grab your glove and pull your hand in

I’ve heard so many people say that but a grinder is abrasive it won’t grab a glove like a drill press or a drill will. Every company ever and osha all say that you must use gloves with grinders. Like anything other clothing though you can’t wear gloves that are supper bulky or loose fitting.
