Abstract
A cutter guard device is adapted for use in a belt saw machine, and includes a stationary hinge leaf formed with a first knuckle unit, a movable hinge leaf formed with a second knuckle unit, and a hinge pin extending through the first and second knuckle units, thereby permitting rotation of the movable hinge leaf between cutter concealing and cutter exposing positions. The movable hinge leaf is further slidable along the hinge pin between retaining and pivoting positions. The movable hinge leaf is movable between the cutter concealing and cutter exposing positions when disposed in the pivoting position on the hinge pin. A retention unit retains releasably the movable hinge leaf in the cutter concealing position when the latter is further disposed in the retaining position on the hinge pin.
