Heads up: a framer I know in Tulsa lost two fingers last month because he pulled the guard off his circ saw
He was ripping 2x4s for a deck on a Tuesday morning and the blade kicked back on him. If you've ever been tempted to zip tie that guard open, what finally got you to leave it alone?

My uncle ran a trim crew in OKC for 15 years and he used to say the guard is only annoying til the day it saves you. That kickback happens in like half a second and your hand is already moving toward the blade before your brain catches up. The second you tie that guard back you're betting your fingers on reflexes that just aren't fast enough.
