of a toe kick a front toe kick wall guide and forward elongate flat area may be added to any of the embodiments in another embodiment the front toe kick wall guide and rear toe kick wall guide are shorter in their horizontal extension as measured by their horizontal extension from the centerline of the spindle extension assembly than the horizontal extension of the saw 39 s handles such would be preferred so that the saw can cut as far as possible into a corner area where a wall may abut the toe kick such a feature may be adapted to become a part of any of the embodiments in another embodiment the secondary movable guard may have a longer radial extension than that of primary movable guard this would ensure that whenever the secondary movable guard could extend into a fully extended guarding position the primary movable guard would be unimpeded in its ability to extend making the secondary blade guard longer in radial extension would help ensure that the primary blade guard has adequate clearance to fully extend such is preferred and may become a part of any of the embodiments in fig6 an alternative embodiment of an extended bumper surface is shown toe kick saw 4000 has a rear toe kick wall guide 4020 and a wider extended bumper surface 4040 which is wider than the blade housing area 4080 in order to create a wider surface to protect the user in the event of saw kickback a wider extended bumper surface 4040 may increase the probability that the toe kick saw will be stopped by the contact with the user and that the blade will be kept at a distance from the user 39 s body reducing.
