Ain't that the truth! Just as a bandsaw or table saw would though I would call them safer than a circular saw or chainsaw. Either one of these 2 can kick back on you in less than a heartbeat and tear up quite a bit of flesh before you can react if you were to hit a nail or even a good hard knot when the wood all around is soft. I have had kickbacks with both of these machines before and let me tell you it will put the fear of safety goggles, leather gloves and all manner of safety devices in your mind from then on!
I have never had a bad accident with any power tool because I tend to practice safety around them.
That includes propellers as well. Only been bit once by a Golden Bee with a 5/3 3 blade nylon. That was back in the 1970s. I will not let it happen again.

Just because I have a new powertool does not mean that I have little to no experience with power tools. This one is simply one I have not had and wanted to learn some new ways of doing things I had previously done with hand tools...
