Original Comment Sirs. While shopping around for a new power miter saw, i noticed that yours and several other manufactures have paid little attention to design detail. Almost all the saws I looked at had the same problem. Having slightly larger hands and fingers, on almost every saw my thumb when on the outside of the grip handle that moves the saw blade downward was hit or pinched between the grip and the retracting blade guard. A potential for injury. It seems to me that moving the grip an inch or so further from the blade guard would allow sufficient clearance for your thumb when in a more natural position on the outside of the grip handle. Granted you could keep your thumb within the circumference of the actuating grip handle but, reaching for it doesn't alway have your thumb ending up in the inside position. A slight flaw but one that has kept me from purchasing your product. The only power miter saw I found that took care in providing confortable safe clearance was Makita. Hence my product choice was made clear. Over the years I've been quite satisfied with The Dewalt products I've owned. Hopefuly, in the future you'll be more coscious of how the end user will be engaging your equipment and take the nessary steps to insure their safety and comfort of use.<br /> Sincerely<br /> Ron Novak
