Overview
Never run an angle grinder without a guard. If yours is cracked or has gone missing, this aftermarket replacement provides the same coverage and clamp fit as the original. It adjusts to position the shield where you need it and locks firmly in place during use.

- Material: stamped steel
- Adjustable: yes, rotational positioning

Compatibility
Designed to fit Makita 9557PB 9557NB GA4530 GA4534 9564P 9554NB BGA452 and other models with the same part specifications. Always verify your equipment’s model number against the full compatibility list before ordering.
Installation notes
Disconnect power to the grinder. Open the clamp on the replacement guard and slip it over the grinder neck behind the disc. Rotate the guard so it shields you from sparks and debris, then tighten the clamp firmly. The guard should resist rotation during use but still be adjustable by hand when you need to reposition it.
Common questions
Q: Will this 4-1/2 inch grinder guard fit my Makita GA4530 and DGA452, or is it only for corded models like the 9557NB?
Yes, this guard is made for several Makita 4-1/2 inch angle grinders, including the GA4530, DGA452, 9557NB, 9557PB, and BGA450/BGA452 series. As long as your grinder is one of the listed compatible models, it should mount correctly to the gear housing and work with standard 4-1/2 inch wheels.
Q: How do I install this replacement guard on a Makita 9554NB or 9564P?
First unplug the grinder or remove the battery, then loosen and remove the old guard from the collar near the gearbox. Fit the new guard into place, rotate it so it deflects sparks and debris away from you, and tighten the clamp or fastener securely before using the tool.
Q: My original guard on the GA4534 is bent slightly from use—should I replace it, and does this guard need any maintenance?
If the guard is bent, cracked, or no longer holds its position firmly, it should be replaced because it may not protect you properly during grinding. For maintenance, keep the guard clean, check that the mounting area is free of debris, and make sure it stays tight and properly aligned before each use.
