Mich. Admin. Code R. 408.12727 - Self-fed circular saw hoods
Rule 2727.
(1)
In addition to guards over blades, as specified in
R
408.12722, feed rolls on a self-feed circular saw
shall be protected by a hood or guard to prevent the hands of the operator from
coming in contact with the in-running rolls at any point. The guard shall be
constructed of not less than 14-gauge sheet metal or the equivalent, and the
bottom of the guard shall come down to within 3/8-inch of the plane formed by
the bottom of working surfaces or the feed rolls. This distance may be
increased to 3/4-inch if the lead edge of the hood is extended to not less than
5 1/2-inches in front of the nip point between the front roll and the
work.
(2) A self-feed circular rip
saw shall have sectional non-kickback fingers along the full width of the feed
rolls. They shall be located in front of the saw and arranged to be in
continual contact with the wood being fed.
