Loki is right, ditch the guard and keep it sharp. The other thing I will add is wear long sleeves and thick trousers, it fires out wood chips at an alarming speed that will bruise your legs and cut your arms otherwise!

Here's a pic of me 'not' wearing long sleeves whilst carving the sections of the "Mai Tai Canoe" for Trader Vics, it was the only tool that could really get into the tight spaces.
