If you aren't carefull enough to keep your fingers out of the
sawbalde you shouldn't be using one!

Obviousely you have not been using a saw long enough to know that that
is a rather uninformed comment. Yeah 20 years experience says nothing
for some people. There are many many more way to be cut by the saw
blade than when you are cutting wood.



I was ripping a 2x4 once, doing everything I knew to do for safety and
using the tool properly, and the wood just exploded. Well, not exploded
really, but about 3/4 of the way through the rip it suddenly twisted,
broke, and generally went nuts.

The point here is that sometimes accidents happen without you doing
anything wrong. Careful has little to do with it.
