DANGEROUS!!
DANGEROUS!
I have been using circular saws for decades. I have always followed safety guidelines but the cutting edge of this saw is a mirror image of the standard circular saw making it very dangerous for those of us who have been using standard saws. The Blade is on the reverse side of the motor so it is closer to your body and hands. I just got back from the emergency room after having 9 stitches to my index finger and almost lost it. This injury was directly related to the blade being on the opposite side of the standard circular saw. I realize that guns don't kill people, and saws don't cut off fingers without a person wielding them. But this design would be comparable to a company manufacturing a gun with the barrel pointed towards the shooter.
