By Qeubecker: "A trick I used to do just what you did is to put a tie-wrap fastener on the handle, perpendicular to the blade, and tihgt it enough to let it pivot when I put the saw in it's case or when the measurement was not needed (like felling trees).
Of course you have to find a long and bold tie-wrap that you cut at the desired length.
I'ts a cheap way to do it and quick to replace when necessary."
Both are excellent ideas. Somehow in 30 years I never thought of either of them! Will probably try one or both next season. I particularly like the 'gets out of the way' without having to take them off.

we put a guide on the handle, a small peice of 5/16" rod, 2" long, bent with a 90* in the middle, clamp it to the handle, with a hose clamp, then put a peice of fuel line on the other end. cut to length, and your good to go. swings back out of the way, to fit in the tool box, and can pull out with a couple wiggles to remove it..
