    My vote was 'No' for a blade change. I have a very large paddle extending from the switch across the front of the saw. Turning the saw on requires reaching your finger through the safety paddle. If I were working inside the cabinet for extended maintenance, I'd flip the breaker in the distribution panel.

    I use the lockable disconnect on my SawStop. Since it has to do it's self-check, it's an extra belt and suspenders issue too.
    - After I ask a stranger if I can pet their dog and they say yes, I like to respond, "I'll keep that in mind" and walk off
    - It's above my pay grade. Mongo only pawn in game of life.
