Oops, I did it again

[Birdhunter]

With a SawStop, I usually have the stock on the right for rips and on the right for cross cuts. My practice is to position my body away from the line of flight for a cutoff. I will go to great lengths to keep my hands well way from the blade. I’ve learned to trust my gut. If I am the least uncomfortable with an operation, I will back off and find a way to achieve the results in a way that I am totally comfortable with. The presence of the safety device doesn’t decrease my safety awareness. I value the safety device, but I don’t depend on it.
