Abstract
A safety device for a power saw, such as a miter saw, includes an interference stop mounted on the frame or other support of the saw. The stop prevents a lower pivotal blade guard of the saw from being pushed away from a covering relationship with respect to the saw blade when the saw is moved from a 'cutting' position to a fully raised 'home' position, thereby preventing accidental exposure of the saw blade.
