My misinterpretation. I equated "saw off" with saw not running, i.e.
blade not spinning.

The only breaking of skin I've ever had on a floor power tool was on a
bandsaw that wasn't running. I was spinning the wheels by hand after
putting on a new blade to get it tracking properly. Somehow, I got a
finger too close to the blade down near the cutting area and caught a
tooth just as the blade came to a stop.


Ouch.
