blade guard

Covers sharp edges

A blade guard is a protective cover or shield designed to prevent contact with a cutting blade, typically on power tools like table saws, circular saws, or food processors.

The guard reduces risk of injury by keeping fingers and loose materials away from the spinning blade: Always keep the blade guard in place when operating the saw.
