Yes be careful - Last week I picked up a reclaimed paving slab and it had Glass embedded in the old mortar on the underside - Cut my hand badly, I wont post the pictures as their is alot of blood - but that was striaght through a pair of gloves and a deep cut - Just a quick look before could have avoided it!

i was just sawing an indian stone slab before or after i spoke to you today phil.

 

it was unbalanced slightly and i was aware after re-positioning it that my right toes were next to my spinning  diamond disc.     i was wearing sturdy trainers ,  but was aware i should have had steel- toe cap boots on.

 

it was only a few cuts ...............................   one slight slip and a plastic trainer would be sliced like melted butter  (toes included).

 

safety 1st !!
