Employee grinding weld using 4.5" grinder, he stated it kicked-back he stopped to inspect disc, noticed a small "nick" & stated he thought he should change it but he decided to try to finish the 1" of weld left to grind. Restarted it & it kicked out again & he lost control of the tool. Cut to R-arm that required several stitches.
