Is this correct for the updated blade guard on a radial arm saw?

The carriage doesn’t go back far enough for the blade guard to fall down behind the fence. I thought the guard was supposed to keep the carriage in the home position until the user lifts it with the lever on the handle. I’m wondering if I did something wrong. Any RAS users know what I’m talking about?

    Yeah the SawStop technology is really cool and it’s too bad that it’s held up by patents. In my case, because of budget and physical space constraints, the RAS turned out to be the right choice for me.
