Cutting 2x4 pressure treated into 15" lengths. The first three cuts were fine, smooth as silk. ok the 4th cut and since, the blade guard is not retracting so the cut won't continue. Same dang board. I can manually move it easily as ever, depth adjustment is fine. Any suggestions?

It's just an old Skil 7.25". Had it for probably 30 years, but not heavily used. I did not try that.
Actually, I jut went ahead and cut it with a hand saw. These pieces will only provide height for a planter in a planter box so the weight is not on the lip.

You mean in contact with the soil? No. The flowerboxes are pressure treated and stone sheathed. The inside is hollow with a platform so you can set a planter down in them.

Thanks! They go all the way to the ground. I designed the deck so it would appear it was supported by the three stone planter box columns, even though they bear no weight at all. The 2x4s I was cutting were just set inside to make the platform reach the bottom of the plastic planters. The last planters left the weight on the plastic rims which eventually warped in the sun. This will fix it for the new ones we bought.
