How does a Mitre saw guard work?

What cut should you never do on a miter saw?
Do not cut solid timber along the grain. Do not cut “free hand.” The stock should lie solidly on the table against the fence. Do not reach around or behind the saw blade. Do not take your hand away from the trigger switch and handle until the blade is fully covered by the lower blade guard.
