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 know a guy who’s dad cut off a couple fingers showing someone how to safely operate one. I think the best way to operate one is to never turn it on and sell the cursed tool to some rube.
