    Oh Well!!!!
    I bought mine in 1978. Still have all the fingers, eyes, etc. and the saw.
    Just got my first TS last year, and am now feeling good about it.
    Any of this stuff will hurt ya badly if ya act stupid.
    Ever stuck your finger in a hot glue pot? I did. ONCE!!!

    On the other hand, I still have five fingers.

    It's only dangerous if you plug it in and flip the switch on.

    Shouldn't be any more dangerous than any other saw. Just follow normal safety procedures and common sense and you should be safe.
