Cut-off tool and shroud assembly

A cut-off tool and shroud assembly comprising:

• a cut-off tool including
• a motor housing in which an electric motor is received,
• a pistol-grip handle extending from the motor housing in a transverse direction,
• an arbor rotatably supported by the motor housing,
• a cutting disk attachable to the arbor and rotatable about a cutting disk axis, and
• a guard surrounding an upper portion of the cutting disk;
• and
• a shroud coupled with the guard, the shroud including
• a shoe configured to support the shroud on a workpiece, a periphery of the shoe defining a shoe profile in a frame of reference parallel with the workpiece with the shoe supported on the workpiece,
• a depth adjustment bracket coupled to the shoe,
• a shroud body engageable with and surrounding the guard, the shroud body being pivotably coupled to the shoe about a pivot axis to adjust a cut depth of the cutting disk below the shoe, and
• a retention device selectively movable between a locked position, in which the shroud body is secured relative to the shoe, and an unlocked position, in which the shroud body is pivotable relative to the shoe;
• wherein the retention device is positioned entirely within the shoe profile.

• a depth adjustment bracket coupled to the shoe,
• a shroud body engageable with and surrounding the guard, the shroud body defining an uppermost surface as viewed in a frame of reference parallel with the cutting disk axis, and
• a latch movably coupled to the shroud body, the latch including an actuator extending above the uppermost surface of the shroud body, the actuator configured to receive an input force to move the latch to an unlocked position in which the shroud is removable from the guard.
