Narrative

EE was using the grinder when EE felt the grinder started to feel like it was becoming loose. The kill switch was located directly near the grinding wheel and guard. EE was slowly moving the grinder down towards the ground so the wheel wouldn't hit EE. As EE did the wheel came off and so did the guard.
