This particular machine is the only one in the world that has this type of safety guard and requires an adjustment to change its position. Do NOT use Lancelot® or Squire® Saw Chain Blades on any 4″(100mm) angle grinder that requires this type of safety guard modification. This includes any and all 4″ (100mm) Makita grinders.
