Abstract
A protective hood for wood cutting machines covers a cutting tool which is fastened to a spindle, projects vertically from a machine table, and is situated under the protective hood which is arranged on the machine table. The protective hood has two side walls which are connected with one another by a rear wall, a cover, and a vertically adjustable front protective shield which can be clamped at the front edge of the cover by locking screws. At least the lower edge of the protective shield, preferably the entire protective shield, can be adjusted upward vertically against the force of pressure springs. The protective shield is supported so as to be displaceable in two guide strips which are fastened at the front edge of the cover of the protective hood. The protective shield which is constructed in this way always exerts a contact pressure on the workpiece with its lower edge.
