| A manually-operated radial arm saw has a steel plate mounted to the guard to provide extra protection to the operator's hands. However, the plate makes it difficult to see the blade properly, and the operator sometimes has to look in under the guard while they're cutting. Although they wear safety glasses, it is very likely that small particles could fly out and hit them in the face, which may require first aid. | 3 | Ask the maintenance staff to replace the steel plate with a Perspex plate, so that the operator can look through it to see the blade. |
