Can this be used without the guard?

Yes, you can use it without the guard for a closer shave. However, don't recommend this trimmer at all! Have to run over the hair multiple times to get it to cut, and the guard is useless as it practically prevents the hair from getting through to the blades. Regret buying this..

I have never done this. However, I have seen this done by professional gardeners. They typically remove the guard and hold the trimmer head at a 90 deg angle to the ground. I do not recommend that you remove the guard.There is a straight handle that comes off the primary handle. Use this to hold the trimmer head in this position. Good luck.

You can tighten the top apparatus quite a bit to secure it. The suction cup mainly helps to keep it balanced and flat against the wall. As long as you had the weight on it evenly distributed I would think if would be ok without using the suction cup. Just a best guess though-no personal experience.

It states that you don't need the screen door guard but I don't think that it would work well at all. It's too heavy and with the dog running in and out it would rip out soon. My husband used tin snips on the screen door guard to cut it out and he says that it was time consuming but not hard. We love ours and highly recommend the dog door with the screen guard.

The guard basically allows for trimming, but would prohibit you from making a clean shave. For a clean shave, you can take off the guard.

I would think so. I use the closest guard (it would be a #1, I suspect) but do the very top of my head with no guard and it works fine.

Since the guards extend an equal radius from the hub, I don't think there would be room for the guards while installed. I don't have the guards, so I cannot say for sure that this will not work. That is my guess from looking at the pictures of the guards.

I have not had to use it. I bought it with purpose of having to use it if I was attacked by a human. I saw it at a trade show and the vendor stated it can be used as a line of protection from any attackers.

Mine came with a guard. I can't complain at all about this slicer. Has come in very handy.

If you use the guard it is great...but without it .. It is a finger slicer..I love it but have to be very careful.

No. You need a free float barrel nut with O.D. threads so your hand guard will thread on to the nut.

yes, but don't leave it near a heater/vent as all the glued=on bits will fall off. also if it happens to fall on the guard, the guard points will break off.

If totally stationary it would support it, but there is no type of guard to keep it from sliding off. Product can be unstable if not set up properly.

I haven't but I'm sure you can. The guard is in two halves a front and a rear and are just zip tied together

I don't think so. The guard itself is very flimsy and moves while you open and close the door, sometimes blocking the door! Don't buy it, buy something thats of harder material.

It doesn't show it in the pictures, but it comes with a bunch of attachments including an adjustable guard. You would be good to go.

I don't think so. It's pretty sturdy, not soft like the guards you buy at WalMart or Walgreens. I bit through several of those $30 guards before I found these on Amazon. I think you will be very happy. Worth every penny.
