Now we will talk about one very good safety feature on the Skilsaw. It is removable guard. As you can see its spring loaded, returns to the lower position covering the blade. It is used in the start up of your cut. Quite often you will see that this blade is very, very sharp and it would cause damage should you not utilize this.
