Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1629943A2] A base (8) partially covers a rotating tool (5) in a handicraft work device (2). A shield (10) movably held by the base forms a protecting area to prevent solid particles such as dust from reaching the user. The shield is movable within an adjustable shield width, Bs, between an engaged position that provides a minimum protecting area and a disengaged position that provides a maximum protecting area.
