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?

I hadn't heard that before, but you are correct. However, I don't think there's a date when this will actually happen. The statement from SawStop says that it's "many years away".
