This is the cover or what's left of it. Most of the plastic was melted onto the gear and spindle. I removed all the plastic that was hanging into harms way because I tried putting it back together after this disaster.. I'm not a rich man and have a family of 5 so this will be the last time I go with this brand of saw if my warranty doesn't cover whatever defective parts caused this issue and the parts that are now in poor repair resulting from it.
