Blade guard
The blade guards are made from sheet metal of hardened aluminium, screwed together with
spacers to achieve strength and stiffness. For the 6-12 the blade guards are available in three
different sizes, Ø 800 (32”), Ø 1000 (40”) and Ø 1200 (48”) for normal and flush cutting. Fully
covering blade guards are also available. These are used together with a parallel blade guard
guide.
New regulations put new and higher demands on safety, and thereby on the blade guards.
Because of the lightweight design it is more likely that the operator will choose to use the blade
guards on all jobs – this has not always been so! The guards on the Pentruder 6-12 HF are so
convenient and lightweight they should always be used. It is a basic requirement for safe
handling of the machine.
Spray from the saw blade is reduced thanks to the extra swivelling guard piece.
Automatic control of the blade guard through the movement of the saw arm, the operator need
not adjust the guard manually while the machine is in operation.
Detachable side pieces. The guards are divided in three pieces with a fixed centre piece and two
detachable side pieces for cutting into adjacent surfaces.
