Combined mitre and bench saw

What is the danger

The saw can move from its position during operation and its blade guard does not properly lock. Consequently, the user could get in contact with the turning blade and become injured. Also, when tilted at 45 degrees, the blade can touch the product's aluminium table. As a result, it will cut it and propel its material towards an unprotected user, who might suffer of injuries in the body or face.
