lots of safety features get in the way and disrupt workflow and are
unsafe

my hitachi cms has a blade guard that is fine most of the time

I've a circular saw with a safety switch on the handle - right
where I could reach it if my thumb were a half inch longer. Result is
that I have to hold the trigger with one hand while pressing the
safety interlock with the other hand, while moving the saw guard with
the third hand.


Old thread,


Not near as old as some.

I just downloaded 660,000 headers, going back to 2003.


Please don't respond to them all.
