Even if you've got a SawStop, you must always be mindful of what the saw
will do.

Exactly! Some 40+ years ago I got the very tip of my thumb into the
blade when I flicked a piece of waste close by as the blade was
winding down. With poor florescent lighting I realized later that you
can't always see the real edge of the blade.

Every since then I work up a good case of fear, terror and respect for
the blade before I even turn the saw on. It keeps my mind centered and
not distracted. About like holding a loaded gun with the safety off.
