Does no one sleep on here?
As a German word, the correct pronunciation would be "Fine".

Until it grabs and you have to try and reach the switch. Maybe it is a better position than the Chinese one, it was right on the back end and awkward as hell to reach while you are trying to hold the bleeding thing from jumping around when snagged up
I have one of those Chinese jobs with the switch right at the back.
Bloody burr dug in one day and ripped the workpiece out of the vice. it was whizzing around at 200000 rpm and vibrating like an absolute ‘tard! It was all I could do to hang onto it while I struggled to find the switch. Scared the 5hit out of me!
Horrible horrible thing! I hate it so much that I gave the brand new spare one to @Pete. and I’ve hardly used the other one since!
So trigger switches for me all day long thanks very much!

@Windy Miller Doesn't sound like an ideal situation 
I've got a corded one with the switch at the back also, Not the greatest design I must admit

I've a Metabo variable speed one and it's an absolute beast.
When it came it snatched like mad but it was just down to bent burr that was in it.
If it jams it can rip out of your hands and spin the grinder instead of the cutter.
You won't have that problem with an air one.
Brilliant tool but well worth the watching.

Colloquial term meaning to be extra careful.
God help us if we have to use "Proper English" on a welding forum.

you wouldn’t happen to know the model number of it. After something to replace the Chinese stuff I use
Yeah but I genuinely did not have a clue. And I can even usually understand @doubleboost . Lol

It was a rare ebay bargain.
It was collection only (luckily close to where I was working at the time) and the bent burr made it almost unusable and really dangerous.
It certainly needs the side handle but mine didn't come with one.

Sorry @ukracer I read more into it than you meant.
I'm probably oversensitive as I really have to work at it because my written English is pretty hopeless. (and my spell checker still doesn't work)
I do try believe it or not and think it's reasonable to “rite propar” but I don't always get it right.
If I started using some of the real colloquialisms from over here, probably 3 or 4 would understand me but don't get me started on Ulster Scots.
No worries mate.
Once you explained it. It actually made sense.
Al ladycomplained to me I kept messaging her and she was not interested......seems she did not realise there was a difference between a reply in Facebook thread and a PM in messenger. Lol

Pferd files are nice. Easily on par with the bahco ones I’ve got.
I've got a couple of the Stihl ones, they do a really nice job sharpening chains, best thing I've ever used for hand sharpening
