Bungee cord keeps mitersaw from dropping its guard

My mitersaw's blade guard works well—so well, in fact, it's difficult to keep it out of the way when I change blades. To overcome this, after unplugging the saw, I hook a short bungee cord between the front of the blade guard and the miter handle at the rear of the saw. This keeps the guard up and out of the way.
