Loose clothing.I was using a worm gear circular saw while wearing a button up flanel shirt,unbuttoned.the front bottom of my shirt got caught in the blade and in a split second yanked the saw right up to my stomach,I was extremely lucky that so much of my shirt got pulled into the blade guard and kept the blade from making contact with me.
Apparantly I need to listen to my own advise more.Today I was usind a 4" angle grinder with a knotted wire wheel when my cuff on my right sleeve got snagged on the wire.By the time I got the grinder turned off I had a crapload of pinholes in my wrist and a nice bruise where the side handle hit my wrist before snapping off.I think I also should only buy grinders with the pressure switch instead of the cheap one like mine with the slide-switch.
