Abstract
A protection assembly for a work implement includes an outer shield member and an inner shield member. The outer shield member is spaced from a housing of the work implement in a longitudinal direction and defines a channel. The channel extends to an exterior of the protection assembly. The inner shield member defines an opening and is slideably disposed in the channel. The inner shield member is free to slide in a transverse direction that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Movement of the inner shield member in the longitudinal direction is restricted by the housing of the work implement and the outer shield member. Movement of the inner shield member in the transverse direction is restricted by a work tool that is locked within and projects out of the housing and through the opening in the inner shield.
