This track saw guide rail is mounted on the far edge of the cutting bench by a hinge setup. When not in use the guide rail stands up out of the way but when being used it hangs over the front edge about 10". It would be very easy to run into it when it is laying across the bench and is quite sharp. I found this protector from Festool to work nicely to keep me from slicing myself on it besides protecting the cord and hose as they go over the end of the guide rail. Not my idea but I am glad Festool had such a thing.
