When using power tools, safety should be your number one concern.
Never use an angle grinder without the blade guard installed. Is it inconvenient at times? Sure. But you know what else is inconvenient? Trying not to bleed to death or being blinded over what should have been a quick and easy job.
Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE). That includes a heavy long sleeve shirt, gloves, safety classes, a dust mask, and a hard hat (especially when cutting poles or other materials that are vertical and have a risk of falling).
Definitely, if cutting down aluminum posts in public, the most inconspicuous thing is doing it im the daytime, wearing a hard hat, tinted saftey glasses, a high vis vest, saftey gloves etc.
Make sure the glasses are not heavily tinted, else you’d be unidentifiable so your friends wouldn’t hit you up on a conversation when they happen to walk past you.
There are so many issues with this video.

The hard hat especially. A professor at my college died from shrapnel to the brain, and they had taken every precaution but that.

And not to be forgotten, hearing protection.
Good call. My low grade tinitus should have reminded me of this one.
