Did you look into getting the free replacement table and guard?

Didn't know about the new guard and table. I'll look into it but how does a
guard cover the entire blade?

Thanks, but it looks backwards. Doesn't the front-bottom of the guard catch
on the wood/fence when it's pulled across it? It also looks like the hinges
are backwards, or set up to cut on the push.
