						  so there is not more than 1/2 inch space between the spreader and the back of
						  the saw when the largest saw is mounted in the machine. If a blade smaller than
						  maximum permissible size is used, the spreader shall be moved to within 1/2
						  inch of the blade. A spreader need not be used in connection with grooving,

						be constructed of not less than 14 gauge sheet metal or equivalent material and
						designed to protect the operator from flying splinters and broken saw
						teeth.
(2) Where the saw is used by
						employees for production-type repetitive cuts and the upper portion of the
						blade, including the saw arbor, is completely enclosed, in lieu of the
						self-adjusting lower blade guard required by subrule (1) of this rule, a swing
						saw shall be guarded by 1 of the following methods:
(a) A box-type guard as prescribed in Figure
						1.
(b) A fixed or adjustable
						barrier guard which protects the operator from inadvertently coming in contact
						with the saw teeth of the bottom portion, from the front or sides, of the
						blade.
(c) A self-adjusting guard
						as prescribed in Figure 1A or 1B that will prevent employee exposure to the
						front of the saw blade by dropping onto the work piece before the blade starts
						the cut and remains in contact with the work piece until the saw is returned to
						the back of the table.

Rule 2730.
(1)
						The upper hood shall completely enclose the upper portion of the blade down to
						a point that will include the end of the saw arbor. The upper hood shall be
						constructed of not less than 14 gauge minimum sheet metal or equivalent
						material that will protect the operator from flying splinters and broken saw
						teeth and will deflect sawdust away from the operator. The teeth of the lower
						exposed portion of the blade shall be guarded to the full diameter of the blade
						by a device that will automatically adjust itself to the thickness of the stock
						and remain in contact with the stock being cut to give maximum protection
						possible for the operation being performed.
(2) In place of the requirements in subrule
						(1) of this rule, which require that the sides of the lower exposed portion of
						the blade be guarded by a device that will automatically adjust itself to the
						thickness of the stock being cut to give maximum protection possible for the
						operation being performed, both of the following apply:
(a) The employer is not required to provide
						an automatically adjusting guard on that side of the lower exposed portion of
						the blade where the distance between the stock and the upper hood guard is less
						than 3/8 of an inch (lower side) for angle, bevel, or compound level
						cuts.
(b) The employer may provide
						a specifically designed jig or fixture to protect the lower exposed portion of
						the blade in all cases where the distance between the stock and the upper hood
						guard exceed 3/8 of an inch (lower side) for angle, bevel, or compound bevel
						cuts. This specially designed jig or fixture shall provide protection for the
						operator which is equal to or greater than the protection required by subrule
						(1) of this rule.
