Default using an angle-grinder to cut down live Leylandii

I have an urgent need to decrease to ~7ft a line of Leylandii along one
edge of my garden. Using a handsaw is good for me but takes too long. I
am not prepared to spend money on a chainsaw for this single use. What
would be the issues in using an angle-grinder? The sap is obviously
relatively viscous and non-seepy at the moment so I wouldn't expect
catching from that to be a problem. The maximum trunk diameter is
probably 3". What do folks think?



Paging Steve Auvache!

9" angle grinder but make sure you use cutting discs rather than
grinding discs. Personally I'd burn the bloody things but it's not my
choice :-(
