The first axis (O1) is located on one side of the surface plate (6). A portion of the saw blade (1) passes through an opening (24) formed so as to penetrate through the surface plate (6) and is exposed to the other side of the surface plate (6). The portion of the saw blade (1), said portion being that which is exposed to the other side, is covered with the lower guard (25). The first axis (O1) is parallel to the second axis (O2) and is located further on the surface plate (6) side than the second axis (O2).
