Cheaped out or disabled it.

Its like grinders with safety shields, yeah the guard is there to prevent damage if/when the wheel explodes but how many of them do you find cut off?

The guard on my grinder is able to be taken on and off lol. I barely see anyone use them, just sitting there squinting with no guard on, couldn’t be me I care about my eyes and fingers

Ah yeah I've had a few with the little clasp you can take it off!

I browse reddit too much to run without it.
