Running an angle Grinder from a car inverter

FX Meister

I have a 400W black and decker power inverter I can conect direct to my battery http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3402124/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CGarden+and+DIY%7C12107492.htm
and a hitachi angle grinder with a 2400W motor http://www.hitachi-powertools.co.uk/spec/g23mr.html

Will this be able to run on my inverter? I need to cut a link from a hardened steel chain so I presume I won't be using the motor at full power. Any advice?

inverter 400w
grinder 2400w

would say 1 press of the trigger.bang goes the fuse.
Its only a fuse. find out let us all know.

2400W is the max power of the grinder. I'm hoping I won't need to use max power of the motor. The inverter doesn't have a fuse.

Inverter doesnt have a fuse no,but is it pluged into the 12v socket? if so its fuse will blow. most power is drawn at the start up of the device.

Well the 12v socket won't handle much power at all so I was going to run it straight from the battery, with the clamps provided. I have a clamp on ammeter to read how much power is being drawn.

Get your hands on a Mr. T tiny oxy acetelyene kit.
Clampers?

Yeah clampers. How much will one of those set me back?
