Blade guard
The blade guards are made from sheets of hardened aluminium, screwed together with spacers to
achieve strength and stiffness. The blade guards are available in five different sizes, Ø 800 (32”), Ø
1000 (40”), Ø 1200 (48”), Ø 1600 mm (63”) and Ø 2000 mm (78”) for normal cutting and four sizes
for flush cutting (up to 1600 mm / 63”).
Fully covering parallel blade guards in the sizes Ø 600 (23”), Ø 800 (32”), 1000 (40”) and 1200 (48”)
are available for use together with a special parallel 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 8 – 20HF 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.
