Zusammenfassung:An angle grinder includes an output shaft defining a rotational axis, a housing from which the output shaft extends, and a flange coupled to the housing and surrounding the output shaft. The angle grinder further includes a first circumferential groove defined between the flange and the housing, a first array of radially outward-extending slots in the flange and in communication with the first circumferential groove, and a keyway defined in the housing. The keyway is positioned inline with a first of the radially outward-extending slots in the first array. The angle grinder further includes a guard with a second array of radially inward-extending projections and a key positionable within the keyway. The radially inward-extending projections are received in the radially outward-extending slots. The key is able to close the first radially outward-extending slot in the first array to prevent removal of the guard from the housing.
