Which manufacturers? I looked at all of the major quality brands

otherwise and if the timing is wrong and you are too close, the
spring return on the guard may not have completely closed off the
blade.....


Tha last one I noticed it on (or not on) was a MacAlister in B&Q but
I have seen a 'major brand' without a RK - might have been Skil?


It was - Skil Orca
