Beware of the band saw safety guides

Doug,

Please be very careful. An injury like that just seems to throw everything out of balance. Take care and again, get well soon!!

I did this tonight when I was shutting off my band saw. The blade come out of the safety guide by the shut off switch. Below is pic of shut off switch and the blade that runs through the guide.

Not to be dumb, But why is there no cover or guard by the band saw switch?

That is a good question! Never was on from the factory. There is one now though. The only way to hit it again is if the blade saws through the metal cover I have on it now!!
