Abstract: An angle grinder including a motor housing, a motor supported within the motor housing, a spindle, a spindle housing from which the spindle extends, and a guard coupled to the spindle housing and including a shroud surrounding the spindle and a grinding disc coupled to the spindle. An orientation of the guard is adjustable relative to the spindle housing by rotating the guard about a rotational axis of the spindle. The angle grinder also includes a locking mechanism operable between a locking state, in which the guard is rotationally immovable relative to the spindle housing, and a release state, in which the guard is rotatable about the rotational axis to adjust the orientation of the guard. The locking mechanism includes a lever configured to be pressed by a user to adjust the locking mechanism from the locking state to the release state.
