TS 55 - removed blade guard check square - black metal clip fell out.

So I took the blade cover off of my TS 55 to check the blade was square and when I went to put it back on this black metal clip fell out to the floor. I can’t seem to find anywhere obvious it belongs.

Figured it out!

Glad you figured it out. Here's a link for future reference for other people with the same problem: link

Thanks!  I did try to do some searching and I couldn't find anything useful.

I did suspect it was a clip for the clear guard but I didn't immediately see anywhere for it to go.  It was only when I slid that in with the cover off I saw the detents in the plastic then found the metal place to hold it on the saw.

I'm just glad I heard it fall to the ground - if not - I'd have never found it.
