Blade Guard
The Cold Saw's rotating blade is a hazard. The Blade Guard is necessary to protect others from the blade, especially during rotation.
Conventionally, the blade guard is comprised of 2 thin semi-circular discs that are attached by a thin flat bar that spans about half the circumference of the blade. This is the design selected for its ease of manufacturing (torch a thin sheet of metal using a circle cutter, then torch the circle in half; tack weld the half-circles to a long thin flat bar then fully weld them together).
