Good Day All,
After upgrading to a cabinet saw, I have arranged to sell my old 2hp 12" contractor tablesaw and 52" Unifence. My question regards liability.
If the purchaser were to be injured by the saw I sold them, could there
be any liability upon me?
Would it be wise to require them to sign something upon pick-up, that
says I am not responsible for whatever happens with the saw?
We have heard the old chestnut, that if you give a chimp a gun, and the
chimp shoots somebody, you don't blame the chimp...
(not to disparage the purchaser...)
But shop injuries do happen, and we live in litigation-happy times.
Besides a written receipt as proof of transaction...
Has anyone required a tool purchaser to sign-off with a waiver,
or heard of any cases where someone was sued about this?
(yes, I am in Canada)
Thanks for your thoughts,
Walt
