I bought an 18V 4 1/2″ cutoff tool and it came with a type 1 guard. It says in the manual that for grinding wheels i will need to get a type 27 guard. I searched everywhere (including De Walt site) but could not find a type 27 guard for 4 1/2 grinder/cutoff tool. The only ones i found was for 7″ and 9″ large grinding tools.
Can someone help to clarify whether i have the right understanding? Can i use 7″ guard for the 4 1/2 cutoff tool? If not, where can i get a type 27 guard for my 18V 4 1/2″ cutoff tool then?
Thank you for your help.
The guard you are looking for is a part and you need to order from the site above.
I believe the guard part number is 397661-01
Thank you for the reply. I went to the link provided and found the part number. However, it does not explain whatsoever whether it is a type 27 guard(or what kind of wheels it is meant for), and what size of grinder/cutoff tools it fits (4 1/2, 7, or 9 inches). Do you know where I can find more info about this part?
Thank you.
Found the tool model in the list this part fits for. Thank you for your help.
