Bosch Professional Protective Guard Without Cover (with Coding, Ø 125 mm, Accessories Angle Grinders)

Product Information

The guard should be on the same side with the side handle for better protection. Its outer lip should cover the cutting/grinding wheels to prevent hot sparks or sharp wheel fragments from hurting you. 2. How do you fix an angle grinder guard? You may want to start with a low, coarse grit to speed through the beginning of a task, and then switch to a high grit for a smoother finish. 2. Cut-off Discs There are many different types of injury that can occur as a result of angle grinder accidents. One of the most common are cuts or abrasions to the skin and in the most severe cases, amputation of a finger. Since an angle grinder is designed to cut through very tough materials, cutting through your bone and flesh will be like a hot knife through butter; ensuring correct safety precautions is therefore essential. Adjustable side guard: This type of guard has a single top ring with two side rings, which allows you to adjust them for maximum comfort or protection for your hands during use. You may need this type if you have large hands or long fingers because there will be more space between the handle and the blade than in other models with no adjustable side guards.

Step 2: Release the cam latch, then rotate the guard around until the tabs lie on the slots of the grinder. Pull the broken guard away from the hub A disc guard is an essential safety component of an angle grinder. It prevents hot sparks and debris from flying towards you. It also protects the fast-spinning abrasive cutting or grinding wheels from hurting your arms, hands, and body. It should go without saying that you should not put your hands or any other part of your body near the blade when it is in motion. Doing this will result in a nasty injury. However, what many novice angle grinder users don’t keep in mind is that their clothing may also pose a risk.This is another type of guard for cup wheels (also called Flaring cup guard). This guard can also be adjustable and often used on large angle grinders. 2. Dust guard (dust extraction guard) Guards for cut-off wheels can also have a completely enclosed bottom design. This second type often goes with Type 1 cutting wheels.

It is important to take it slow when you are polishing. If you select too high a speed, you will probably end up damaging your surface. Bigger angle grinders are more likely to offer you speeds that are suitable for the job. 8. Concrete Grinding WheelsSo, you will need to weigh those pros and cons when choosing your cut-off discs. In either case, however, try not to push too hard or too fast into the metal. Doing that only makes it more likely you will damage the work and shatter the disc you are using. 3. Diamond Cutting Discs I have seen a lot of novice users ignoring the basic safety practices when with a grinder. I wrote an entire guide on angle grinder safety since this is really important. 6. Paint Stripping Discs There are a few different ways to remove the angle grinder, blade guard. The easiest way is to use the included electric tool to release the guard from the wheel. Some grinding guards also have screws that can be removed with a Phillips head screwdriver. If the guard does not have any screws, it may need to be pried off with a blunt object such as a Hammer or a U-bar.
