Makita 194044-1 230mm Dust Collector Guard for GA9020 and 9049 Angle Grinders

The Makita 194044-1 (product ID 261797) is a 230mm dust collector guard designed specifically for Makita angle grinders including the GA9020 and 9049 models. This is an accessory, not a standalone grinder. It fits directly onto compatible Makita machines to manage dust at the source during grinding and surface preparation work.

The angled dust port is a practical design choice. It allows a dust extraction hose to connect without getting in the way of the work or the operator's hands. This keeps the working area cleaner and reduces airborne dust significantly during use.

Dust control matters on site. Whether you're grinding concrete, masonry or metal, capturing dust at the guard level protects the operator and keeps the workspace cleaner. This guard is built to Makita's own specifications so fitment is precise with no adapters needed.

Makita's manufacturer warranty covers all manufacturing defects for the normal lifetime of the tool. It does not cover wear and tear or misuse. If you run a GA9020 or 9049 and need proper dust extraction capability, this is the correct OEM guard to fit. Stocked by MyToolShed with over 500,000 parcels delivered since 1996.

The Makita 194044-1 is a 230mm dust collector guard built specifically for the GA9020 and 9049 angle grinders. The key design feature is the angled dust port, which lets you connect a dust extractor hose without the hose running straight back into the operator's path. By capturing dust at the guard rather than letting it disperse into the air, it reduces exposure to grinding dust on site. It is a genuine Makita OEM part so fitment is exact with no modification needed. It does not include a hose or extractor.

This is a dust collector guard, not a cutting or grinding guard. Always fit the correct guard type for the task cutting discs need a cutting guard, grinding discs need a grinding guard. Check that any disc used is rated at or above the no-load speed of your GA9020 or 9049. Always connect a suitable dust extractor to the angled port before use. Wear eye protection and a dust mask rated for the material being ground. Never remove the guard during operation.
