When I read the in depth article about this incident and how it was quite obvious that the injured person was doing about every thing wrong that you can do with a saw like this I find it crazy that he was awarded the verdict in his favor. I certainly hope that the saw manufacturer appeals this case and gets the verdict reversed. You should not be using any tool until you fully understand it and then use every safety device possible. I hope this case does not have a detrimental impact on all of us woodworkers.

I have the gutter guards that the article is talking about and they work great for me. My only problem is that I have many tall pines on my lot and the needles get stuck standing up which makes for a messy looking gutter from the ground but the gutters are functioning fully. I also have several maple trees which drop a bunch of leaves in fall and the guards do an excellent job of keeping them out. I just use scaffolding with wheels to do my annual cleaning and have had the guards now for many years. I am quite pleased with them and the price at Home Depot is quite right.
