I used to work in a lumber yard that had a number of saws in continual action. Days are long and the work monotonous, makes you lose your focus. Lotta guys named Stubby.
I worked at a sheet metal shop bending sheet metal Hydraulic press brake
Half weeks 8 hour shifts impossible stay focused. Same parts In and Out.
There was a foot pedal for pressing and the gap how much the press opened was adjustable
from the small gap thickness metal to larger.
One colleague shortened two fingers on the right hand when a strip slipped he automatically put his hand at the wrong place
Stepping on the pedal.
I adjusted the gap so it was impossible stick in a finger . Bossman adjusted it wider Shouting .. takes ... to long time for the work .
Scolding me .I adjusted it back and it kept on a while I was prepared getting fired but the boss gave up.
I kept the job and all fingers.
Pay was not good and monotonous and dangerous So I reckon it was not so easy Hire .Should someone get fired.
These saws are dangerous and hand held as well So was Chain saws for Lumberjacks . back in the day the stops was not good
It could grab and throw the saw up around and hit the person on the Shoulder
I have met one where the Chainsaw bounced onto the left hand Terrible.
I take chances with machinery at times but not with these saws or Axes .. Terrible life changing accidents in a split second.
The hand held ones I adjust cutting height.
Some press machinery had buttons that was needed to be pressed left and right at the same time
Without that it would not close . if it is the type of saw I believe it spins and runs ... Dont se what a pedal can do. . No stop
I se people use a stump of wood feeding the wood to be sawed.
