I'm a union heavy construction guy. The last job I was on was having all the welders run 2 leads to where they were welding so they could ground within18" of where they were welding, as opposedto grounding to the structure and running a single lead. I asked why, and I was told by the welding QC that it was to protect sensitive equipment that was hooked in to the plant. IMHO, I agree with the fella above that you should be alright by grounding next to your weld (touch a spot with the grinder to get a good metal-to-clamp bond), but as expensive as these machines are today it would be a good idea to unhook the battery, as well as grounding close to the weld
