I ran my 4 1/2" grinder without the shield for a while, but after notching several of my fingers I figured I better do something before I would damage myself to where I'd never be able to play the piano. Since the guard made the grinder so hard to get in tight places, or you had to adjust it left or right every few minutes for different directional cuts, I cut mine down to where it is only about 1 1/2" wide instead of half the circumference of the wheel, just enough to protect your fingers where you hold the trigger. Havent notched a finger since (knock-on-wood). By the way I still cant play the piano.
The most dangerous attatchment I have for that tool, that hasnt got me yet is a 4" wood saw blade. Every time I use it I get chills because I know that thing will leave bloody stubs, climb all the way up my arm, shoot across the room, out the window and down the street in about 0.02 seconds if it ever gets out of control.
