Abstract
A saw guard, especially for preventing splinters and the like for being thrown out from a saw, in which a flexible, strong, wear resistant material, such as belting, is cut into strips and the strips are connected to a housing which covers the saw from above so that a row of strips in side by side relation are in front of the saw while a row of strips arranged in parallel spaced aligned relation extend along at least one side of the saw. The strips along the side of the saw and being spaced apart permit free circulation of air through the sawing region to remove sawdust and the like therefrom but are effective in stopping splinters and the like from being thrown off from the saw because the arrangement of the strips are in parallel spaced relation.
