Claim 14:
15. A working machine comprising:
a saw blade;
a blade guard comprising a cover for covering at least a portion of both a first side and a second side of the saw blade and a locking formation located at an end portion of the blade guard, the locking formation having portions that correspond to each of the first side and the second side of the saw blade;
a splash guard operably coupled to the blade guard to act as a barrier between the saw blade and a user when the working machine is in use;
a cover device comprising a front end, a rear end, a top surface, a bottom surface, elongated sidewalls, and a longitudinal passage for the saw blade to pass through, the longitudinal passage extending through the cover device from the top surface to the bottom surface in a region extending from a position spaced apart from the rear end of the cover device to the front end of the cover device; and
a blade guard receiver formed integrally with the cover device and configured to receive the locking formation of the blade guard to operably couple the blade guard to the cover device;
wherein the blade guard and the cover device are pivotably connected via a pivotable connection defining a pivot axis extending between and through the elongated sidewalls of the cover device such that the cover device and the blade guard are turnable in relation to each other so the saw blade is movable up and down the passage at least during cutting to change a radial distance of a portion of each opposing side of the blade that is proximate to the front end of the cover device measured relative to the center of rotation,
wherein the cover device and the splash guard are alternately removably operably coupled to the blade guard such that the blade guard is engaged to a selected one of the cover device and the splash guard,
wherein the locking formation comprises a first locking member disposed on an outer surface of the blade guard,
wherein the blade guard receiver comprises a second locking member and a housing which defines an opening,
wherein at least part of the blade guard, including the first locking member, is insertable into the opening, and
wherein said first and second locking members are arranged to cooperate with one another to lock the blade guard to the blade guard receiver.
