The top half is a whole piece with the body. I don't think you can install a bigger blade easily
There is a reason that guard is there. Wood dust, debris especially when u hit a knot is dangerous. I tend to look at the point the blade engages the cut. Would not recommend doing that without any type of guard or fear of being blinded by sawdust.

I'm not going to remove it even if it's removable. Just answer his question.
Thank you anyway for your kind suggestion. Safety is always the first.
Make sure you understand how limited this tool is in terms of lumber it will cut:
Basically just 2x4's: "Up to 2x4 cutting capacity and 4-1/4 in. cross cut capacity"

But it's perfect for most things a typical home owner is ever going to have to miter. Such as door and window trim, brickmolding, shoemold, quarter round, normal sized baseboards, small crown, picture frames, etc...
Framing materials can usually be cut accurately enough with a circular saw.
The 10 inch sliding version is $179 right now and often sells for less. I'd get that instead if there is any chance that you will cut anything more than trim and molding (deck, porch, flooring?). The extra utility is easily worth it IMO.

I personally would wait and see if they have a 'Free Ship' sale on Black Friday (or Cyber Monday).
You in a hurry to lose your fingers or something?

I was thinking of getting a corded because I just don't see a battery last thing long and draining quickly
