Abstract
A radial saw with independently and jointly operable saw blade guards is disclosed. The independently and jointly operable saw blade guards include an upper blade guard mounted in fixed position relative to a yoke that depends from a supporting arm, the upper blade guard covering at least approximately an upper half of a motor driven saw blade that is mounted on the yoke. A lower rear blade guard is pivotally mounted to the upper blade guard and is configured to cover a lower half rear area on at least one side of the motor driven saw blade, and a lower front blade guard is independently pivotally mounted to the upper blade guard and configured to cover a lower front half area on at least one side of the motor driven saw blade guard. The lower rear blade guard and lower front blade guard are independently and jointly operable and telescopically movable with respect to one another.
