RE: Guarding & Anti-kickback alligator shear
All these things will point you toward a solution.
The "pure" solution is to prevent the machine from moving while any body part is in it's path; or you can think about it as making sure no body parts can be in the machine's path during it's operation.
For a simple solution, maybe consider vertical plates parallel to the shear on either side of the shear with thin openings for the rebar, big enough for rebar, but to small and/or too far away from the shear for body parts.
good luck!
