If the blade guard is in place as it should be (and I might add will
most likely be in the case of an owner who thinks he/she needs the

be less than you suggest. or not?

What blade guard would stop ones hand from sliding forward into the blade.
If it doesn't stop wood, how is a hand any different?

Um.....well.....You pose a difficult question. I may be supposing a blade
guard like mine where one would have to be in a rather unique position to
slide his hand under the guard and into the *teeth* of the spinning blade.
Not that it couldn't happen but.............
I guess I would have to agree with those who propose that "nothing is fool
proof". G
